remedials
Classes for stragglers
Remedials are classes or courses designed to bring students up to expected skill levels, particularly in basic subjects like math and reading.
The term usually refers to college courses that cover material students should have mastered in high school: She had to take remedials before starting her regular coursework.
The word carries a slight stigma, implying the student is behind.
