“Calculus 1 and 2 and I don’t see why tenure-track professors would want to waste their times teaching these type of courses”

I think it’s a valid generalization to say that LAC professors are hired primarily for their teaching ability, which likely means that they enjoy teaching and are good at it, such that “wasting their time” on low-level courses would not apply as it might at big research U, where some professors might be hired for their research ability and for their skill at mentoring grad students. There are different kinds of students and different kinds of professors, and there are homes for all, for which we can all be glad.
