Do you just assume that every high school even teaches those subjects? (Hint: out HS had a mandated two year curriculum of integrated science…a little bit of chem, a little bit of bio, a little bit of enviro…not good preparation for the science curriculum for any four year Uni.)



blue,
It thought the minimum requirements for admission to the UCs included 4 years of math and 3 years of lab science. How is it that the hs courses these admitted students are taking are not sufficient for college work, especially if they must also have earned something like a 4.2 average weighted GPA and high SAT scores? It doesn’t make sense.

Racin,
It is not that people “don’t like” the peer tutoring program. It would be wonderful if every single UCLA had a free assigned peer tutor 24/7 for the entire 4 years. The issue is whether this is a “critical” service necessitating the expenditure of additional taxpayer dollars, and if so, why?
