College classrooms should challenge students to think, not just to speak. And until participation grades show that, they are not really measuring engagement at all. Instead, they are measuring personality.

Growing up is something that we hope to rush and have even come to idolize. We all look for the next milestone that says we’re older and one step closer to adulthood. Yet, when we reach adulthood, we all wish time would reverse so we can relive our youth.
