<p>I have to wonder what type of scores the students that require remedial classes got on the ACT or SAT. </p>
<p>Since the nation seems to be against any state or national tests required for kids to graduate HS, it would be logical that they kids that couldn’t have passed this test wouldn’t be admitted to college. This is a money making scheme for the colleges and does a disservice to the kids that ARE up to college level courses.</p>
<p>The state of education (before college level) in this country is abysmal. Yes, we have lots of smart hard working students. But I think that the lazy slackers are a drag on the rest and in the bigger picture a drag on the future of the USA.</p>
<p>Not everyone needs to be able to be a rocket scientist, but if you graduate HS and can’t read, write and do basic math, there is a serious problem going on.</p>
