He’s not teaching at MIT.

Do the laws of chemistry or biology change at MIT? Facts are facts. Why not make NSU as good as MIT rather just another school for shirkers?

Fine, if he can do that, wonderful. But the professor is obviously failing to get his kids to learn. Not saying it’s his fault: if his students could’ve gotten into UVirginia, they’d’ve gone to UVirginia. But if he’s expecting them to perform like MIT students, what he’s doing is a little like a Little-league coach benching his clean-up hitter for not being able to hit a home run out of Yankee Stadium.

Sure, every Little-league slugger should dream of smashing a home run out of Yankee Stadium, but is it a realistic expectation?

OTOH, I don’t know that’s what the professor is thinking. But if he’s so wonderful that he can expect his students to learn as much as MIT students, maybe he should have applied to a teaching position at nearby William and Mary?
