Personally, I think community college is exactly the place for remedial work. Students can work on areas where they need to get up to speed while also possibly moving ahead in other areas. But not only community colleges, most of the other public and private schools in our area offer courses at the “remedial” level to get students up to speed in math and writing. And community colleges are utilized by adults of all ages throughout the community.</p>
<p>The local school district offers community ed courses in everything from yoga to using the internet, but they are not the ones who do the remediation for college readiness.</p>
<p>Having come through such an unconventional path myself, I always chafe at suggestions which would further limit the options available to the non-traditional student.</p>
