[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 810537, member: 6773"] When my daughter was in college she worked as what they called a proctor for the math department. Every quarter she got 10 new students, her job was to be a tutor, do the testing, and hopefully have them ready to enter a real college math class. Of the 10 typically 3 would make it. I ask her one day " how many just don't have what it takes to do it" her replay was " only 2 or 3 don't have the ability to make it the rest are simply too lazy". While we're on the subject these universities are far too quick to enroll kids that are never going to get a degree. The kid is there for a couple of years, racks up 30 or 40 thousand dollars in student loans, ends up dropping out and has to try and pay that back with a job at Walmart. If the university had to share in that cost they would be a lot more up front about who they thought could make it and who couldn't. Larry [/QUOTE]
