[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 404463, member: 844"] As a Tech grad and now currently a math teacher (high school), I teach like most kids are going to Tech. Most can't get in and aren't going there but I still have that fear that they (like me in HS) have absolutely no idea what was in store for them. I think at most colleges, the freshman year must be like 13th grade. In other words, the modest incremental leap that they have seen all their lives going through K-12.But at Tech, it was similar imo to jumping from the 12th grade to the 18th grade. In one step. The weak and the lame were quickly separated from the herd back when schools weren't profit motivated by the retention metric. What keeps most teachers from preparing kids for schools like Tech is that most of them went to the nearest public college or university that accepts people with 21 ACT's or 1o50 SAT's. How can you prepare somebody for Tech or Stanford or the Ivies when you went to Southeastern State A & M? [/QUOTE]
