<p>Well, my older kid had this to say about her HUM: “They have five different levels of math here so that I don’t hold back anyone who really cares. I wish they had two levels of HUM, because I’m tired of sitting in class with a bunch of people who have no idea how to read poetry, don’t see any reason to learn, and feel privileged to take up class time expressing their contempt for the whole idea. Been there, done that; it was called ‘high school’. The kids here may be a little smarter, but the kids in my high school English classes weren’t dumb, either.”</p>
<p>On the other hand, she really liked SOSC, I think largely because the material and the analytic methods were much less familiar to her, and because there was more focus in the syllabus.</p>
