Remedial college classes and the Clark County School District

In response to your Oct. 29 editorial, “Education malfeasance”: Colleges struggle with remedial courses? First, who teaches the teachers in the Clark County School District? The same “company” that makes money from the remedial classes students from the district are required to take.

Two questions I always asked. First, why do coaches make so much money when the higher education “companies” are supposed to be in the business of education? Second, why doesn’t the curriculum taught to high school students align with requirements to attend these institutions?

And reform? Reform has been pushed down the teachers’ throats almost yearly since forever. Give prospective teachers the proper training, the tools they need to teach and let them do the job they are paid to do. Weed out the incompetent ones and pay the rest a decent salary.
