It strikes me as a tad peculiar you are taking Patrick Henry to task over a lack of math expertise on the staff when your own post reflects a lack of spelling and grammar expertise ("do respect," "Austin," "lab time, is helpful"). I'm not saying this to be snarky, but simply to point out that perhaps you're not being fair...I'm sure you're very well educated, but perhaps your background in English is as lacking as mine is in mathematics :) :). We each have our strengths and weaknesses. One can do very well in life focusing on particular areas when it comes to higher education -- most people can't or don't have the interest to specialize in everything across the educational menu. I wouldn't suggest Patrick Henry is offering a poor education simply because they have chosen to specialize, in their first years, in strong teaching in particular areas rather than attempting to be all things to all people.

i agree--and the young woman i know who is attending PHC this fall had been doing "high school" course work since 7th grade, and taught herself calculus...
The kids kept interrupting; the post was premature.
Your inference is not based on fact, only circumstantial evidence.
What a shame that the "rough draft" interrupted the gist of the message.
Did you even bother to examine the book list?
