Am I the only one that notices that community college instructors are
stuck between a rock and a hard place. We have to do the remediation -
which as far as I am concerned is the most difficult teaching job. We
also seem to get the majority of learning disabled. The problem is that
we are not given the tools necessary to deal with these situations.
Those teaching remedial courses and/or learning disabled should be the
highest paid instructors, rather than often times the adjunct faculty.

Must be nice not to have those particular problems at University level.
