” In many states, 40 percent of high school students entering college need remediation in math, reading, or both,.....”

.....my is a college professor teaching freshman remedial English in writing....only they don’t call it “remedial”....the official title is “developmental English”....don’t want to hurt anybody’s self estem don’cha know.

.....anybody who can teach developmental English(or Math) will have a job for life....these kids can’t write a simple declarative sentence.....downside of the job is that many of them are angry insolent a**holes....just like they were in high school....black kids are the worst...my wife has been threatened and called a “white bitch”
