Superior analysis on all blogs. You are such a strong critical thinker. You make a very legitimate argument about general education classes. I also worry about the overlap of high school and college gen eds. Today's Washington Post discusses the trend to have college gen ed courses offered for dual credit in high school, and I find that an intriguing idea that would save students a tremendous amount of money. I find the overlap problem most significant in the Intro to Literature 201 courses, so I'm curious to see what you think!
