<p>Since I started this thread, I thought I should weigh in on my son’s semester so far. As OnceBurnt mentions, Dean MacLaren was very responsive to the concerns of the students and parents in the calculus class that our kids shared. Thank you FC for suggesting that we take that route. I think it’s really empowering for kids and parents to know that they can make a difference. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, my son dropped the class before the new professor showed up; he was sure he was going to fail. However, he’s really happy with the International Development class he’s taking in its place. And after a few other switches, he’s also happy with the rest of his instructors.</p>
