I got to talk to a friend of mines daughter who will be a Senior next year. She was so excited that she would soon be graduating, I was excited for her, I have watched and actually been a part of her raising since she was a puppy.
I asked her what she had planned after graduation, she gave me the "Evil Eye" and said, you already know I am going to college, I laughed.
I have brow beat that gull since she was knee high to college bend her studies and she has, took all the pre-college courses that the High school provided, even took a few courses at the college for high school and college credit.
This is where it goes weird: Her prep courses in high school were not accredited. Ok, I can see that. they were just prep courses. But, and it gets strange, because she took prep courses, she is not allowed to take the college classes she prepped for, she must take the no credit college prep courses at the college for her taking the college prep courses in high school. Um....did anyone follow that?
By Taking college prep courses in high school, she can not take the classes in college without taking a college prep course at the college.
How interesting. I did a little research, and come to find out, this is normal, almost all the high school graduates are REQUIRED to take college prep no credit classes before enrollment into credited classes because what they learn in Government Run Schools disqualifies them. They are not Prepared.
WOW, now isn't that interesting. Our own colleges says that our Government schools are crap.
Oops, sorry. told ya so.

yes, I saw a panel discussion on Fox this weekend where it was stated that at California's 24 primary college campuses, over 50% of new students must take remedial math and science courses because they are not up to speed!

It really wasn't much different in '64 when I went to a Big 10 school. There were 4 "pre" classes you needed to take or to test out of before you could take 'real' classes.
I think the difference was that the great majority placed out of 3 - 4 of them right out of high school. I remember three; math, english, and a language of your choice.
