I work for a university... and my son starts at one in the Fall.
He's going almost seven hours from home for the experience. Makes me wonder, do we need classrooms if the students can connect online from different locations?
Should the goal be to teach students a series of tasks/topics or to teach them how to learn so they can stay ahead of the learning curve? I'm thinking the latter. Time will tell.
I believe that shared experiences and collegiate life are important to adults in today's world, but I also want to be sure that the costs we're going to pay to give him this experience prepare him for a modern career.
