<p>I am a special education teacher who works with many students that have significant learning challenges. The whole idea of college being oversold is so relevant to the field of special education because many of our parents have been sold the dream, told that their child should go to college too, even with severe disabilities. Our local community college has remedial classes which must be passed or passed-off with testing before entering credit bearing courses. Some of our graduates have gotten stuck there, taking remedial courses until their financial aid is used up. The students often end up with nothing but frustration , and no job skills which could actually gain them employment.</p>
<p>How can we get back to reality?</p>
