<p>Lookingforward:</p>
<p>I see you as having a challenging time understanding the paradigm of the CC, to some extent. It’s not a University. </p>
<p>As to this situation effecting the flagship? I would suggest that drinking and cutting class probably effects the flagship more than community college students who have recieved some tutoring in writing, in conjuntion with their comp 101 class. IME, and from the feedback I have recieved, some of those I tutor end up to be much better writers than those who need no tutoring during comp class.</p>
<p>This is a feature of the poor nature of some K-12 situations more than from some shortcoming on the part of the student.</p>
<p>As for the taxpayer issue, I would recommend people look into how much of the community college in their area is actually still supported by the taxpayer. You’d be surprised by how little of it is taxpayer funded…</p>
<p>At least around here, there are an army of us highly educated volunteers in there working as tutors. All of us, from attorneys to physicists, are simply putting our actions behind our belief in the fact that everyone deserves an opportunity, an honest opportunity, at an education. I’m not unique in this. There are many of us. Come on in and help out!</p>
