Free speech vs the undergrad who just wants to get the material done
Smart kids can locate appropriate course material for any undergraduate class in America, all on the web. Any good junior college can cover the first two years well enough. Why do this at large crowded universities?
Students attend university for a particular form of speech, why else? How did 'Let kids be kids' and ' course material' get mixed up? University and college carry two hundred years and more of baggage back when books were expensive. But getting through the undergrad course material is much more efficient, away from the kabuki dancers.
I have no answer, we want the kids to experiment as young adults a bit, do some price discovery. But that has nothing to do with standard undergrad course material, with a few exceptions being team, audience and lab activities. So, the first lesson of free speech on university is get the undergrad courses the frig away from campus, away from the unnecessary shouting. Do a lot of the material on line, let the undergrads house themselves farther out and make fewer trips to campus.
