Many college students need high school math classes
Professor Derron Bowen teaches high school math to college students, patiently chalking equations on the board on basic arithmetic topics such as the speed of a driver on a a 20-hour trip. Bowen's class at Broward College in South Florida is for students who didn't score high enough on an entrance test to get into college-level math. Education observers worry that the vast numbers of students coming to college unprepared will pose a major roadblock to President Barack Obama's goal for the United States to once again lead the world in college degrees.
