[quote=Anonymous]“Our students find college not as challenging,” says Temba Maqubela, dean of faculty and assistant head for academics at Phillips Academy, the boarding school in Andover, Mass. Former students have written to him expressing frustration with college courses that are too basic. (Consider this collegiate-sounding offering from Andover’s English department: “Feasts and Fools: The Topos of the Festive Social Gathering.”) Andover alumni tell John Rogers, dean of studies, that college “is not as difficult as their experience here,” he says. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/education/edlife/07prepared.html?pagewanted=all%20%3Chttp://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/07/education/edlife/07prepared.html?pagewanted=all%3E&_r=0[/quote]
