“This week we had a state representative propose a bill that would penalize state K-12 public schools if a former student enrolled in a college remedial math or English course at a public college or university in our state.”

And I suppose this rep. knows a whole bunch of fully qualified, yet unemployed, math teachers? I would have been delighted if Happykid hadn’t needed two semesters of “remedial” math at her community college after four years at her “Newsweek 100” high school! However, even that school can’t scrape up enough truly competent math teachers because they just plain aren’t out there.
