We are continuing this episode with our college professors discussing the literacy gap and was they see from their POV.
Our educators share their insights, experiences, and concerns regarding students' preparedness as they transition from high school to college. Are academic standards slipping? Is the 'Literacy Gap' real, and what's the impact? We'll discuss the controversial changes in academic standards and how they impact students. Our expert guests share their experiences and insights into the very real challenges high school graduates face as they enter college, often struggling with basic reading and writing skills. What's causing this alarming gap?
We examine the strategies and programs designed to bridge the literacy gap, ensuring a smoother transition to higher education. Discover inspiring success stories and lessons learned along the way.
Oh, and don't forget that we have our comedian/teacher/professor in the building who experienced an involuntary vacation, also known as a three-week admin leave. She had a showdown with a student who thought they were auditioning for a comedy roast, but soon discovered they'd met their match!! The student unleashed a barrage of racial insults, and our brave teacher temporarily lost her cool. So, get ready to hear her side of the story, and maybe some tips on handling the disrespect that comes with the territory.
This episode is full of information and laughs!!
