Is it bad that I have to take so many remedial cles in college?

I thought I was suppose to be in college for only 2 years. Then I can transfer to an university. But Im seeing that for my first 2 years of college. I'll basically be taking all remedial cles. Like basic math and reading 09. Basically I'll be learning everything I should have learned in high school. I probably won't be able to transfer until after 3 yrs or so. And when I do transfer thats another 3-4 yrs at an university. Its too much time. In my high school I did well in the begining. But then was having trouble with subjects. Then I barely attended in my junior and senior year. Mostly because i was always made fun of a lot. But I don't know how they still ped me and I graduated. I feel like they were suppose to keep me back another grade,because of my grades and abscenses. I had mostly all F's and D's. What should I do in my situation? Should I just attend the community college, then just get a certificate in something that will get me a job?
