considering everything that *is* achieved at MIT, what do you expect? other schools that have more of a caring focus on students - well, that's great, they should go to those schools. there's only so much you can put under one roof, only so many hours in a day. i don't think it's realistic to have an institution like MIT slow down and focus on hand-holding, considering everything else it provides in the way of education and research and technology. there are other schools who provide less of that and more personal support, and parents and their children need to consider all avenues, rather than pushing MIT in a situation where the student may need something a little more gentle. and i think that's what she's trying express here. maybe her wording sucked, but *shrug*.
