Re: What Happens When Dean's Homework Assignments Work?

I think this question boils down to, "Would you rather have 10 passionate students or 100 mildly disinterested students?" I guess this sounds elitist, jeez, I guess it IS elitist. Shouldn't we be elitists? We aren't talking about kids playing a game here, we are talking about our future. I think I am quoting Dave when I notice the irony in having tryouts for kids who run into each other and chase a ball but we don't have tryouts for kids who will make our future cars.
Access = Opportunity.

Opportunity is not equal to guaranteed participation or guaranteed success
