<p>I think my kid is doing more sports, skiing and partying than talking about life right now, but I agree with what your dad said and I do think that LACs foster this environment. </p>
<p>That said, S did talk to me for TWO+ hours about philosophy last week!</p>
<p>From what I can see, Canadians are more focused on university as career training and have less of a concept of college as a place to learn how to be flexible for a future that may include a variety of career changes. I also think they are less likely to see this time as valid for a “time out” for self-development, self-discovery, and similar values held by aging US hippies like me.</p>
<p>Susan, I’m wondering what your take on this is?</p>
