As a college freshman myself I feel extremely targeted by Parsons blog post. To me high school was not just a test prep service, but instead a place where I realized my academic strengths and weaknesses which I knew would help me in my further academic endeavors. If High school was only a test preparation service, as Parson described it, all incoming college students would fail miserably due to a lack of listening, writing, and communication skills along with many others.

Exactly!! High school really did teach us a lot and Parsons is giving it no credit at all. We truly would be nowhere without our high school education.

I like how you addressed the issue that professors do influence the students that they teach. Parsons needs to take more responsibility as a professor for whether his students pass or fail and not just shift the blame to the students.

I'm glad you enjoyed that! Professors definitley need too be aware of the atmosphere in their classrooms and wether that atmosphere is a positive one in which students can learn in or a negative one that makes students not want to be there.

I agree. I think that college is a learning experience for both professors and students. Parsons seems like he is unwilling to accept and understand students and he is in now way going to grow from that.

I agree with what what you say about you're coming to college to study and further your education on and about something you passionately love.

I agree with you when you say that you came to college to study. Parsons does not understand that college students come prepared to learn not to drop out
