July 30, 201610 yr East Mississippi Community College is the basis for a new doc called "Last Chance U."
August 1, 201610 yr I've watched the first two episodes at the urging of Senor @Clyde. Good stuff...will keep watching.
August 1, 201610 yr I finished it in a little over 24 hours. Good stuff. Looking forward to another season of it.
August 1, 201610 yr Author I guess this is supposed to be a feel good story of some sort but to be honest it's a bit sad. Sad how poorly many kids' academics are after they graduate high school. Sad how little some kids care when people are trying to help them. Sad that a grown woman has to babysit these kids like they're first-graders.

Sad how little some kids care when people are trying to help them. Sad that a grown woman has to babysit these kids like they're first-graders. I thought the same throughout. Most of those guys have zero desire to do ANY school work and seem to be content with not being successful. You couldn't pay me enough to do that lady's job.
August 1, 201610 yr Author Just out of curiosity....is the title of this thread supposed to say "foobnall"? What the ?? That's how it sounds in Scooba, MS.
August 1, 201610 yr What the ?? That's how it sounds in Scooba, MS. :lol2: Shall we leave it be, then?
August 1, 201610 yr Author :lol2: Shall we leave it be, then? No. Change it. Sidenote: As I told MTGL you will want to turn on the captions for this one. Some of those southern boys are really hard to understand.
August 1, 201610 yr No. Change it. Sidenote: As I told MTGL you will want to turn on the captions for this one. Some of those southern boys are really hard to understand. I love the "accents." :lol2: I can usually understand them, but sometimes it is difficult.
August 1, 201610 yr Watched first episode just now, I'm hooked...I'll power through the rest in the next day or two.
August 2, 201610 yr Watched the first episode last night and found it extremely difficult to finish, and it had zero to do with having to use closed caption. Like said before, I find it extremely frustrating and annoying these adults are being treated and allowed to be treated like children. I'm all for second chances but most these boys are just going to go on to take the easiest road possible. There maybe a couple feel good stories here but the fact that these guys have to have a teacher call them or chase after them to get them to class is pathetic. I can't stomach it. Unless someone can give me a good argument as to why I should, I'm passing on this one.

Unless someone can give me a good argument as to why I should, I'm passing on this one. This show brings to light the reality of every college program in the country. If you can't stomach that, you probably should watch the show, or any major college football.
