[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who wants to pay to have their kid be a number in giant lecture halls? [/quote]

It takes a somewhat smart & mature kid to make it through large lecture halls. You are not doing your young adult any favors by trying to shelter them. They will fail in real life if you do.[/quote]

Because sitting in a lecture hall and not asking questions or venturing your opinion is good preparation for the work world?  Hmmm . . .   [/quote]

Because being in a ridiculously coddled environment with everything handed to you is good preparation for the work world? Hmmm....[/quote]

The standards are quite high at SLACs. . You can’t sit in the back row and be anonymous. BUT if you have trouble with a concept, there will likely be a highly educated adult there to work with you more. Not a grad student who barely knows more than you and is only tutoring you for the money. Nothing is handed to SLAC students but actual people care how they do. They are not at the mercy of a huge state administered machine that has no time or money to look into their issue. [/quote]
