COLLEGE BOUND

In January, I read an article titled “New Education Data shows thousands of Pennsylvania High School Graduates Head to College Unprepared.” It states that “One in three Pennsylvania high school graduates who enrolls in a state-owned university or community college cannot pass a first-year college math or English course ….” http://www.pdenewsroom.state.pa.us/newsroom/cwp/view.asp?a=3&q=148018
The State suggests adopting statewide graduation requirements. Our students already have so many assessment/tests throughout the school year. Maybe that is the problem, to many assessments/tests and not enough uninterrupted daily instruction. What should be done to help our graduates?
