      You could actually make an "equity" case that classroom participation is unfair to students who, for psychological reasons beyond their control, aren't comfortable sitting at the front of the class and asking the teacher every time they don't understand something. I know teachers love that stuff though, because it makes them feel like people are listening, even if it is the same few students doing all the talking every class. It gets absurd when you're in a several hundred person college 101 class and the student in the front row sidetracks the lecturer every time they don't quite understand something.

      Education is extremely important.

        I don't like the huge 101 classes. Adjuncts are perfectly capable of teaching those. Find some good teachers and limit the class sizes.
