Are our students ready?

Students don't know the fundamentals of grammar. Students in a journalism class correctly answered, on average, less than half the questions on the test. We don't teach grammar, at least in transferable classes. Students should know how to use commas, how to identify run-ons and fragments and how to catch basic grammar errors before they ever get into college.

What do you think of the writing abilities of your entering students? How about math abilities?
