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.
>> That [remedial English courses are taught in community colleges] just means that the public school system is a failure.
Exactly my point.
