    Remedial classes cost colleges and students roughly $7 billion a year. The problem? They rarely workhttp://on.wsj.com/2hzhlyy

        Perhaps these students aren't destined for a 4-year degree. Why not invest in innovative trades education instead? Huge potential @ $7 b.

        As anecdotal as this is, they worked for me. I would have drowned in college math without the remidial work. Today, Im a scientist. Boo-Ya!

        Pretty sure it's a chicken-egg issue...are the classes the problem or the person who needs to take remedial classes...I say the person.

        Your child's college debt is paying for what their high school didn't teach them. School administrators our gov. allowed this to happen.

        Anyone needing remedial math and/or English should not be in college. Cost of educating students destined to fail should be visible.

        Why are colleges admitting people who are not college material?
