[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because public education in America sucks.  School systems are too busy closing the achievement gap by giving everyone one As.  Practices such as unlimited test retakes in high school, TO colleges, etc.

Kids get to college and find out tests are one and done. Pace of class is much faster than the watered down AP courses they took in HS.

Multitude of reasons actually.  Hopefully we are seeing the end of the 4 to 6 year take of debt party for a large number of people who were never really college material. [/quote]

it really depends on where you went to high school and what you made of it. My kid is just wrapping up his first year and has commented that college is much easier than high school. I think for him the ease is that he doesn’t have to sit in 8hrs of class and can do a lot of independent study. He also is using all his AP classes he got in high school and has jumped right into linear ans Diff EQ first semester and though hard for all As first semester. [/quote]
