Unfortunately, higher education has made a mockery of itself. The freshman composition class that my daughter took in college 6 years ago (required for all students) was easier and required less writing than my Sophomore English class in high school thirty years earlier.
I find it very easy to believe that a Freshman in high school could take and pass a college course.
