[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Autonomy, right. So send your teen to a huge public university with hundreds of students in intro classes and scores in classes up the chain. No better way to learn autonomy, responsibility, and independence, right?

I went to a top SLAC where my largest classes had two dozen students and hope my children do the same. I had a great deal of help from the career center and profs at this college in making productive summer plans, along with in landing my first job after graduating. I also had the college's strong support years later in applying to grad school.

But then we're clearly a family of needy, clingy, neurotic wimps.  [/quote]

PP, i think you are a private school person and that's OK. i just looked back at the college matches last year for BASIS's grads and almost no one went to a SLAC. The vast majority went to Universities rather than colleges-- lots of state flagships (berkeley, michigan) and plenty of Ivys. by contrast I know SLACs are very, very popular with private school kids.

There are many reasons for this. But this just sounds like BASIS does not fit your vision for schooling, and that's fine! It does work for some families.

college matches are @bdc.2025 on instagram if anyone is interested. [/quote]
