Seriously? This is just laughable.

I am interested to see how these students do after a year at these schools. In fact, I hope after 4 years they graduate. I truly think they may have a hard road ahead of them.
I don't really agree with all of Rasputen (sp?) says but, he/she made a good point that not being able to read is unacceptable at any age. No, I don't agree that we should make fun of those who can't read. I think we should be concerned about the schools that continuously push these kids through without giving them the help they really need. I think that is where the real stories is.

Find in any of my posts where I said not reading at grade level was acceptable for freshmen at the college level.
My point WAS, and still is, that "not reading at grade level"=/= "can barely read."
I'm adding a new point:
We all know you're a self important bitch. You still have a lot of learning to do about phrasing your opinions in such a way that you won't get such an immediate and negative response. If you don't care about that, or prefer to bitch about everyone hating you because you "speak the truth," then you can be on your merry way - just be aware that it's your choice to make.
