Did anyone ever hear of this?

*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.

LOL…hey, it probably would work. I’ve seen how K-12 schools will do whatever it takes to make sure they don’t lose funding. So if they thought they would lose funding for their students who had to take sub 100 math or English classes, they would improve.

Or, at least, these schools should be required to offer some kind of summer school to these kids so that they won’t have to take sub 100 courses.

Of course, if the high school exit exams were any good, the exams would have been catching the deficiencies a lot earlier.

That said, the public univerisities could just stop accepting kids who need sub 100 courses…and tell those students that they need to go to a CC first to get up to speed.
