Lots of words are written about the “moral rot” of the country. We’re not here to debate, only to point out one area as an example – college campuses.
A fellow
blogger who calls himself Professor Doom writes thought-provoking essays about
things going to hell in the Halls of Ivy. His take
on academic cheating: Every semester I get an expanded list of cheating
methods to watch out for, assuming I was foolish enough to catch cheaters. I’ve
seen many faculty destroyed for catching cheaters.
In other
words, “We pretend to teach, they pretend to learn.” He goes
on: Just
this semester, a friend’s child just started at a state (flagship) university;
her first day there she was given access to a ‘secret’ database of
questions/answers for the tests of her classes. We all pretend our schools of
higher education are doing a good job, but … I really think some legitimate
scrutiny is in order.
Good one,
Professor. We know the only things scrutinized are those that hurt the football
team. He also
talks about taking out student loans for majors like hotel management: Even
though one could learn everything useful about hotel management quickly,
colleges somehow manage to take 4 years to teach what many immigrants figure
out how to do within months of coming to this country.
Yep, in
four years they are summoning money from home, buying franchises, letting the
properties go to seed and ruining the names of budget chains. The Prof is worth a bookmark. Check him out HERE
