Parents pay for college because they want to equip their children for the real world. If it's causing you problems that prevent you from communicating issues in the real world, it's not really equipping, encouraging or bettering you to deal in the RW.
Most colleges try to attract diversity, and just for that the experience is worth it. But it also teaches you research skills, cooperation skills, meeting deadlines. But again just like k-12 schools, colleges can and do have horrible teachers whom really only like the title and simply recite information, which is not the same as getting inside the student's head and relating to them in a way they personally understand.
Good teachers to me, are the ones who don't simply repeat something , but have the ability to relate to the individual student and treat each student as an individual.
As far as my mom was concerned, she was simply happy I had the experience and my grades were mixed, mostly B's and Cs and a few audits too.
