surprise surprise!
i took a finance class several years ago. the retirees and investors left within a session or two. i remained hoping to learn something.
then the instructor chewed me out for reading the wsj.
a mexican kid showed up from the year’s previous class, saying he admired the teacher but had gotten an f grade on the final. the teacher gave him a b grade for class participation.
the teacher bad-mouthed mccain and palin and promoted obama.
i dropped the class.
in terms of difficulty, i could have passed the class in junior high.
california public schools have passed on generations of kids that do not belong in college.
I grew up in California - 1950s - 1960s.
Things were very different then.
May I ask what part of Calif was the college where you took the course?
Believe me the Leftists were already there in my day. I argued all the time with my poli-sci professor who was an outright communist.
