Did poorly on exam, yet he was in AP English.
Then there’s the matter of colleges providing remedial English and math classes. If you need them, why are they letting you attend college? Must have something to do with the $$$ !
You better beleive it has something to do with the money. Community Colleges are, in part, successful because of the failure of public schools. Here in Illinois, classes for those not ready for college are called 'developmental' and every department has an array of them. These developmental classes cost the same as all other courses, but they don't count on the transcripts. It is amazing the number of students enrolled in developmental courses for the second or third time. Armed with my tin foil hat and a good dose of John Taylor Gatto, one might think this situation the end-result of a long game-plan by those early leaders of mandated public education.
