The net result of everyone going to college these days is that college standards have been lowered to be what "everyone" can handle. This means that colleges are now teaching things that are supposed to be taught in junior high.

Not a recent phenomenon. I lived in the Baton Rouge area in the mid-80s. At that time, a bit over 50% of LSU incoming freshman required remedial (read: high school) coursework. And this was at the state's "flagship" U.

It's probably closer to 90% today.
