Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
California community college system is huge with 2.5 million students, but not all of them are headed down a road to success.
Some are forced to take non-credit remedial classes before they really get started on their degree, and Katie Hern argues that this sets them up for failure.
Hern, co-founder of the California Acceleration Project, joins Take Two to make the case for a system where these same students are thrown into the deep end with harder classes from the get go.
