maybe, but . . . colleges have always offered a variety of remedial classes for those who need them. Hell, I went to Berkeley 35 years ago, and it offered remedial classes then.

I do think high school and elementary school students should actually learn what they're supposed to. There was an article in our local paper saying that something like 60% of our police officers failed the written entrance exam the first time. Pretty scary.
