@wis75 - sorry about my confusion onthe quarter system, what I meant to say was that they allow students to take 10-12+ more classes than semester systems, giving them a chance to either really dive into a specific subject or use the extra classes to dip their toes into new areas. I think that is what you said above, probably more eloquently than I did. :">
We are looking carefully at each math and ed department and printing out requirements for each for comparing. I agree that a strong math department coupled with as much out of classroom/student teaching as possible are at the top of the list. As soon as we have a few more tours under our belt and she is narrowing down size and geographic likes/dislikes we can go deeper into each department/school/requirements and come up with an appropriate list. Thanks!
