I mean, is that really setting them up for success? If the quality of education that students are getting is already low, then they will be behind in college and probably not successful there either. Instead, I really think the key would be to invest in pipeline programs -- that way, the students quality of education would be better, and the school could get branding and recognition in local communities.Lady Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677522239546916524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766655334717181346.post-8625821851416893772008-12-22T11:28:00.000-05:002008-12-22T11:28:00.000-05:00This is disheartening.
