<p>I guess we just differ in priorities. See, I’d want my kid to know when to skip class. I am a full professor and have taught for many years in a top 10 school. I like to believe I pack a ton into every class, especially the advanced technical ones, but no single class of mine (or anyones!) is ever that important in the <em>big scheme of things</em>. College should never be about getting the highest GPa, at least not at the expense of mind opening and unique experiences that only college can give you. You’ll never remember a single class, but you’ll always remember the special speech or the event.</p>
