[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at a large public (non “bespoke” lol) university and she hasn’t had this problem much at all. Despite the laughable snobbery here (which I hope is trolling) “you can’t always get what you want, when you want it” is a perfectly acceptable life lesson, and if they haven’t learned it by 18, they need to learn that pronto.

If I’m paying $85k per year then yes, I will need to get what my child wants.  If your child is at some public diploma mill then they get what they’ve paid for.[/quote]

A “public diploma mill” like UVa or Michigan? [/quote]

I know bright students who've transferred out of both, and yes, they said they felt like huge overwhelming degree mills. That said, the students we know are [b]very sharp private k-12 lifers, so their expectations are higher than the usual dips*** who's just happy to be away from home and partying[/b].[/quote]

In other words, sheltered snowflakes.[/quote]

No, they're sharp and enough know what a quality education feels like, while the public lifers don't know what they don't know. And frankly, most k-12 public nitwits don't care and just think a football team, a pretty academic building, and a manicured quad makes a college, any college, "perfect".  :roll: [/quote]

Why do you hate public institutions?[/quote]
