10.16.15 by msedblog SUN HERALD Editorial: Mississippi students should be ready for college from the start Not all high school graduates who want to go to college are ready for the classes they encounter. That doesn’t sound like an adequate education. That needs to change. We’re glad colleges and universities offer remedial classes to get those students up to speed, but we would rather Mississippi’s high schools turn out college-ready students. At Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, almost a third of all 2015 graduates started out as a “developmental student,” which means they took a developmental, or remedial, course at the beginning of their careers, the Sun Herald’s Regina Zilbermints reported last week. And it’s not just Mississippi. Nationwide, about a third of high school graduates aren’t fully prepared for college. Share this:EmailPrintFacebookLinkedInRedditTwitterGoogleTumblrPinterestPocket
