<p>This is interesting. I wondered what the humanities/academic requirements would be like for my son who is at NEC. He seems to be mostly consumed by performance–didn’t even have one book to buy this semester! A teacher joked when asked about grades: why do you care about grades, you’re a musician! This is great for my son, who has never been a traditionalist, or a people pleaser, and is someone who really lives the philosophy that learning is for learning’s sake.</p>
