<p>I agree with the OP. The problem with the culture of Ws is how it dilutes the opportunities of others in a generally overcrowded CC. Every single class I’ve had at CC, has had a ridiculous amount of people drop. I’ve never had a W, and have gone through all the same stuff that people say causes the W, whether it be work, family issues, personal issues etc. My CC lets you drop with a W all the way up to the second to last week of class which is ridiculous. </p>
<p>My first semester at CC I took English 101 H, the class had a 25 person cap and they only offered a single section. On the first day there was at least 10-15 people trying to get into the class, but the teacher didn’t let any of them in. At the end of the semester there were probably less than 10 people left. There was someone in there that had been kicked out of a cal state because he dropped to many classes, took a spot of someone else, then dropped the class 3 weeks before it ended. Keep in mind, we only had to write 4 essays and the teacher just talked about his life for an hour and let us out early. I still see the same people taking up the same spots.</p>
