What is remedial education?

<p>I am a student from United States. I found this discussion field, essayboards.com, on my google search and I think this is the right place to share and solve my doubts. I have some doubts about “remedial education". Please help me to clarify them. I am very weak in math and using of grammar. My secondary school was very difficult; and I have passed my secondary school with minimum marks. I didn’t get any adequate grounding in math and language. So, I think my next college would be nearly impossible. I am very interested in writing essays and assignments, but most of the self written papers got very low or minimum marks. One of my friends said to me, I want to go for a proper remedial education. Actually, what is a Remedial Program? Should I go through remedial education?? Is remedial education always applicable to students who have difficulty in reading, writing like dyslexia? And also, I need a superior writers help to write my college application essay, Can you suggest me any reliable essay writing company? Please share your thoughts here, your assistance would be appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Silverie-Is English your primary language? I say this because your question about remedial education is unusual in the US</p>

<p>Many students in the US who have learning disabilities like dyslexia have been identified by the school system and receive help and accommodations for them in school, usually in the same classroom as their peers. In some cases the student is pulled out for help in a subject, but public school law states a child should be placed in the least restrictive environment ( mostly the regular classroom). Remedial education is not usually in a different school. If the student fails an end of course class, they have a brief remedial period in school and/or take the class in summer school.</p>

<p>Schools also evaluate the student for the nature of the learning issue, so one knows if it is difficulty in reading, writing, math and so on. Since you have graduated, you are not eligible for help in primary and secondary schools. If you have not been properly evaluated, it can be done privately by someone who is qualified to do psycho-educational testing, however, this can be very costly. This evaluation is necessary for a student to get accommodations with testing and at school.</p>

<p>Many students with learning disabilities do go on to college and can receive some accommodations there. However, they must also be equally qualified for the education program. Hiring a professional to write your essay would not be in your best interest, and it would not be honest. You could get admitted into a program that requires advanced writing skills and then not get the help you need. </p>

<p>There are also colleges that provide support to students with learning disabilities . I haven’t looked but I would think there would be some posts here. Community colleges are a good resource for GED classes (high school level) on up, basic English and writing classes, and technical training. </p>

<p>A remediation program that you speak of focuses on working on a student’s weaknesses, but does not address a student’s strengths. It may be helpful to work at improving your skills, but there may be an educational or vocational program that makes the most of what you are good at. The education program and career/job track that focuses on your strengths may be the one you are happiest and most successful at.</p>

<p>Remedial education is intended to improve a person’s ability to read, write, or do mathematics, especially when they find these things difficult. Education intended to remedy a situation; that is, to teach students what they should already have learned. For example, reading classes at the high school or college level are considered remedial because most students learn to read in elementary school. Success depends on several factors, including teacher’s approach and expectations, instructional materials used, and students’ motivation to learn.</p>
