If you’ve been forced into 13 years of remedial schooling, Community College is too similar to the “Cs get degrees” attitude. I’m tired of being told not to do things because it’s hard. The only things worth doing are hard.
An unimpressive teacher, but that’s the pattern. I once tried redoing a math class as a CC because I wasn’t comfortable with the possible gaps that would come from being in the remedial version at HS. I had to take a placement test, tested out and then I insisted that I wanted to take it anyway, I was told it had filled up. It somehow had four openings later that night when I checked of anyone had dropped online.
Ideally, I’d like to redo certain classes in a CC, but not accumulate credits so I can apply as a freshman at a real college and get involved in UROP.

I mean…that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.

So you tested out of remedial math, but wanted to take it anyway. But it was full. Got it-tracking
So you checked later and slots opened up which is…normal? And you didn’t take it?
And this is the fault of community colleges everywhere?
I don’t get it.
