<p>I’d love it if you could link that study. Or cite it, anyway. </p>
<p>Full time remediation is ridiculous. The gaps just aren’t across the board. The kid might not have learned to write well, but judging from the writing centers offered, now, at ALL universities, this is probably not even particularly unique to CC. The same kid is great at math. The remediation necssary for a paralegal program requires little in the way of math. etc… Moreover, these are adults, and they ALL have jobs. They don’t go to school 8-3. </p>
<p>There are basic ACT score requirements to be admitted without remedial classes, but the classes are there and, once passed, the student moves onto the next thing. A kid who is good at math should not have to wait until their English remediation is over to move on.</p>
<p>It’s not a university. Some adults are there for a professional certification. Some are there for the articulation agreements. The CC where I am tutoring is extremely successful with transfering to four years and also with finding employment for it’s AA’s and AS’s. It’s an entirely different situation, AND there are kids there who will go on to a four year university.</p>
<p>There are agreements in place and a student can go on to complete their four year degree in a hybrid low res learning program in various majors with four year institutions, and not 3rd tier institutions, either. It is a partnership situation, and it is the best use of my tax dollars I have seen in a long time.</p>
