ReplyDeleteWe have to get those numbers up.
ReplyDeleteFrom the highest to the lowest - that's not good. With accrediation at risk, this is not the time to have the pass rates drop. That's what happens when you put inexperienced people in place to teach Bar Prep.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't blame any bar prep. program. At the end of the day students are responsible for themselves and their own education. This isn't ammeter hour its law school. At some point people need to take responsibility for themselves and quit blaming external sources for their shortcomings and failure to prepare.
