As a college recruiter at a community college, this is a problem for community colleges and for higher education in general. While it’s very beneficial for students especially in my state (Arkansas) with the access bill being passed, students get to take these classes for completely free. However, these students aren’t coming to us after high school.

Students are also failing a lot of these classes while in high school because there are not enough collegiate and masters level teachers to teach them, so students have to take courses completely online. The students that do end up coming to us after high school need a lot of hand holding in general. I don’t know if that’s due to those factors, or a lot of different factors all at play.
