College is now the high school jr and sr year...by design...I was on a comm coll board in early 1990s...talk then was how ill prepared hs students were...had to remediate them...30 years ago.
it’s absurd that colleges readily admit students who need remediation in the first place! of course, the faculty has been too tempted by student loan $/tuition dollars over the years at the expense of consistent academic prerequisites.
