Re: Back to college. Maybe.

"Most colleges won't fail a student that does the coursework"? "Preserve your academic reputation"?

I have NO idea what you're talking about here. Have you attended most colleges and quizzed the professors in order to find out that they don't flunk people anymore? Who have you spoken to who said that a student shouldn't attend community or four-year colleges because it would damage their "academic reputation"?

Checking out library resources is a fine idea, but the rest of your advice sounds dodgy as hell.

I haven't attended most colleges, but I audit them for a living. Colleges are first and foremost businesses. They need ever increasing success rates to compete against each other as well as continue to receive funds from other sources.

As for preserving academic reputation, I'm not sure what you're confused about. Taking prep or remedial courses may help a student's preparedness, but it hurts their record. It also raises the cost of education for that student.

DA.

Ayup. And those ever increasing rates fuel education inflation. Used to be good enough to have a Bachelors, then a Masters, now only a PhD will do. What comes after that? They're going to have to invent a new category to keep everyone coming back to pay more tuition.
