I'm 56. Last spring I took a college course in Geology. It was the most eye-opening experience I've had in a long time. From the ignorance of the kids to the ignorance(and leftist agenda) of the teachers I was shocked. But the attitude towards cheating really got me. I had students tell me that they hadn't read the material but would just copy off somebody. People would gather around me for tests because they knew that I was prepared
The corker came at the final when certain students actually asked me to let them cheat off me. When I said that I came from a time when it wasn't done, they were shocked. They viewed the cheating like networking. If I helped them, later on they might be able to help me. I said, my car needs washing. No takers.
Learning the material and proving it on a test was far down on all their priorities.
We are doooommed...
Tell those students if they ever manage to actually get hired by a company I or my peers (in the environmental industry) work for we are going to hound them mercylessly, like a pit bull on a small child...
