<p>I was wondering the same thing when I read that post, Blueiguana. </p>
<p>Being a mom, I fall into the “old school” category, but I can see how today’s kids would learn well in this setting, and thinking about it more, our son may actually do better with this style versus a a traditional overcrowded lecture hall setting. A cup on top of your station as a signal sounds kind of primitive, but I don’t know that a flashing light (haha) would be any better. Assuming there are professors and TAs scanning the room, the cup signal would work well. If a question is raised, the student then receives individual attention. I like it. Glad to know there is a free tutoring lab available too.</p>
<p>Thanks for shedding some light, KandKsmom.</p>
