Paul attended his first college class today. Afterward, he said to me, "That was the best class I was ever in." He told me how hard the students were thinking, how easily they shared their ideas, how the teacher let the students guide the discussion, how much he learned, how much he could tell they were learning.

I told him that this is what people hunger for: this kind of intellectual engagement that is so intense that it becomes an emotional bond.

"Yes," he said.

One of the most important decisions is choosing a school is matching the student's learning style with the schools teaching style.
It made all the difference in the world for my son.
