Yo’ means we bees havin’ to learn this?
Comment from a dear friend who was the Dean of Admissions of the nation’s largest community college: The after high school “We bees gwine to collie” crowd as a rule spends the first full year in remedial English courses that are specifically designed to bring them up to a 10th grade reading level.
I have no problem with kids spending the first semester in remedial English. my youngest daughter has a learning disability and spent a semester in remedial English in her first year of community college, despite the fact that she went to private school and had a tutor throughout HS. That it is common just means that the public school system is a failure.
