"Expendable" is the word...
My wife is taking classes to finish up her degree and obtain a teaching certificate in the state of Texas...
She recently took a class on Bilingual Education (required course) and a recent assignment was to write a paper based upon an interview she had to conduct with "anyone" and have that person answer questions about what they know and understand about "Bilingual Education"...
Other than 2 grammer errors (Capitalizing "bilingual education"), she recieved a 74 on her paper...
"James" the person she interviewed (shhhhh, it was me) had some good and some critical things to say about the program...
So you can see where it appears to be disingenuous from a position of the professor to give her the grade, just because she interviewed someone who is not a "rah rah" proponent of this program...
"grade retaliation" seems to be something my wife can pursue if this paper seriously damages her grade in the course and her overall GPA...
Somehow, someway we must really investigate the need to seriously flush these slime out of our educational system at ALL levels...
A student has to kiss (figuratively of course) the professor's butt, agree with everything the moron says and act like he/she is correct ALL the time. Some professors are prime examples of narcissism. They are so full of themselves that they reek.
