"The California State University provides remedial courses in English and math to almost half its freshmen since our school system is grossly inadequate in paying teachers, providing supplies and providing an education. This is the bitter legacy of the anti-education program of the Friend-of-Ken-Lay (as in Enron), Gov Gray Davis, and is an excellent reason for not voting for him on November 5, 2002."
You and I see this as a failure.
The rats see this as more tax paid jobs for more teachers to teach remedial English and math to 50% of the dumbed down kids in Ca State U's.
They still have the same amount of regular professors as before for the real college courses. Now they have had to hire what are really high school English and Math Teachers to teach what should have been taught in high school now in college. I'm sure that most of these "New" professors make more than the average highschool teacher.
The Universities love it, as this means instead of a 4 year program, the dumbed downed kids need 5 to 6 years to get their instant unemployment degrees in women studies and how the blacks have been abused for 20 centuries in America even though America is not 3 centuries old!
