[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're admitted to a college and have to take remedial reading and writing classes in the pre-freshman summer and go to intensive writing lab freshmen year ... you don't belong in college. [/quote] I don't think that a remedial summer program means you shouldn't be in college. It makes a lot more sense than starting college taking those non-credit remedial courses. My neighbor did that and had to take the math course 3 times and the English one twice. By the time he was a sophomore, he only had like 12 credits. He ended up dropping out. This is where the loan crisis lives. I think schools should offer conditional acceptances to students who must pass the remedial summer program. My son's HS does this with kids who don't meet the required standards for acceptance. They can take a 6-7 week summer program and if they meet some standard, they are offered admission for 9th grade.[/quote]
