One of the main tensions I see is between — curriculum, certification, grades — and — learning, motivation, compliance. They are all pulling in different directions.

One example is that scholarship students have to maintain a certain GPA. They have to be strategic. It’s why science majors often stay away from courses in the humanities, where it is almost impossible to get 100% or even 85%. Why would they risk their GPA and lose all that money? For my son, it was the $32,000 question.
