If they’re not ready, don’t let them in.

What’s the problem?

i’m sure a dumbed down Christian citizenry is exactly how they want it.

Most people shouldn’t be going to college anyway. We need better vocational training and an apprenticeship system.

the colleges would loose money if they didn't cajole and encourage ALL students, even though they know they won't be able to hack it....

its all about the money....

also, the colleges can point to the fact that the students "aren't ready" when they keep them in their colleges for 5-6 yrs just to finish their degrees...

My generation learned skills in high school that allowed many people to do fine in the job market without going to college. Lots of gals went into the secretarial field. Those jobs aren’t there any more. Our high school offered an engineering class and several guys went to work for engineering firms doing grunt tasks while getting a degree at night.

But we also took practical classes - home ec, sewing, auto mechanics, woodworking. I don’t think they even offer these any more.

When I went back to get my Master’s I had a couple of courses from the Bachelor’s level to pick up so went to a local junior college. Young kids hated having older ones in the class because they blew the curve grading system right out of the water. We weren’t there to socialize but to do well and move on with our life.
