[QUOTE="donna723, post: 36156, member: 1883"] Sue, I'm not up on all this anymore but I don't understand the "do-overs" on tests either. Another thing I don't understand is [i]college[/i] courses that are basically "catch-ups" to bring them up to the college level - to teach them what they [i]should [/i]have learned in high school before they started college! Back in the Dark Ages when I was in school, you had to take and pass certain courses in high school and score high enough on the standardized senior tests to be admitted to one of the State universities. If you didn't, you didn't get in! Period! NO such thing as paying college tuition to take "high school level" courses, like tutoring to bring you up to college level! Another thing - totally unrelated but about how lazy people have gotten, one of my pet peeves (on my soap box again!) - [i]the BIBLE on DVD[/i]!?! Fine for the visually impaired or those with reading problems, but come on! Push "Play" and let somebody else read it to you?!?! Give me a break! [/QUOTE]
