<p>Well, California, due to the way it funds itself is more abysmally run than any other state in the country, and anyone can see that the educational funding issues are the worst of all.</p>
<p>However, in my state, right now, which is almost as bad as yours, there is no such thing going on, though there is pressure on the funding, obviously, the truth is that voters vote yes on the bond measures in our areas over and over again. It’s one thing we do do right.</p>
<p>As for those who believe remediation for specific learning gaps left by poor k-12 education should take place somewhere besides the community college, I would say, great, invent that place. In the meantime, in our area the remediation classes are being passed at a 70% rate, and AS and AA articulated transfers have risen by 14% in the past two years.</p>
<p>I can’t think of any reason to end a program that successful for some other nebulous fantasy program you have come up with in your head because “remediation should take place somewhere else.” </p>
<p>WHERE else? And WHY?</p>
