I have to say your response compares to the performance of the Dodgers lately.

: That article has nothing to do with race.
: Just

: Re-think, re-invent, make more relevant...

: I love the line where they quote the Cal

: Here is a novel idea, eliminate remedial
: classes, and raise the standards to
: eliminate freshmen who need remedial
: classes, let them start out and take those
: classes in Comm. colleges. This would help
: aleviate the budget problems; further, it
: might give HS students an extra bit of
: incentive to pay attention in class.
