I taught some pretty smart college students but they couldn't think outside the box. I asked a class if they were pro-death penalty and if so why? Some said they were because "That way, the killer can't kill again." I said, "You could blind the person or chop off his arms and put him in jail--wouldn't have much of a chance that way. They said, "Yuck, that's digusting." 2) I put two options on the board: "Electrocute slowly" and "Drown slowly." I said, Somebody killed someone you love. You can choose how the killer dies. Which would you pick? It was about 50-50. I said, "Hey, are you all for the death penalty?" Some said they weren't. I said, "Then why didn't you just say, "I wouldn't choose either." They said, "Because that wasn't one of the choices." 3) I said, why is the following deceptive: "No aspirin is better than Bayer aspirin." 70 students thought it meant Bayer was the best. I said, duh, it doesn't say that. It just says they're all the same." Is there any hope?

Hi,
I'm currently attending a pretty highly regarded school (Think Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Princeton) etc.
How much does a degree from a school like this really help in getting a job? Also how much does GPA matter if you go to one of these schools? I'm a freshman and have a 3.2 right now, and so far it is hard for me to get good grades. I think as soon as I can take just engineering classes it will go up though. I am majoring in Comp Sci and want to get a job in the field.

Do employers care about freshmen grades? How about business school or top Grad schools (MIT, Stanford etc)? Doe s the "branding" of a top school at least make them look at GPA differently at all?
Thanks
R

My school offers this thingie where certain Juniors and Seniors are allowed to take some classes in a community college. I am one of those people... and I am trying to figure out whether or not I want to do this. How am I supposed to have the whole high school experience if I load myself with unnecessary work?

My friend is currently in high school. She is really stressed out about what Ivy League Colleges are looking for in students. She drives herself crazy trying to participate in a bunch of clubs, sports, etc. I tell her that doing so much isn't going to help if she doesn't do any of it well. Are there any students out there that could give her some advice?
