Some students are not ready for college classes after high school. Learning disabilities, laziness or bad study habits are problems. Reading and math are critical.
@vicewoman I am glad to hear things are different now. There just wasn't any help available when I was young in the 1960s and 1970s. I feel that reading specialist telling me to give up was unprofessional on her part.If I had gone to the adult literacy council they would have never talked to me that way. In my 20s I got my GED when everyone told me I was wasting my time.
@doulasc You should go back now. Now, they have different views about education. 1- No one can deny you an education now. 2- I teach remedial reading, I know! 3. Colleges now have systems of disability accomodations so long as those accomodations are reasonable.
The problem is that, the public school system lacks or denies any individuality needed to understand lessions and retain that information when needed.

You are right.

So instead of complaining you should prove them wrong nowadays.

I had a learning disability and took remedial classes at a community college in 1979 and
the reading specialist told me since I have a
LD is to give up and drop out and I have no right
to an education.The college told me she was right and withdraw and never come back.
I am telling the truth.
