Curious about your instructor's responses to the hi skool kids' poor writing skills? Did he/she try to help, or did they not really care? I hear from my pals in higher ed that they can't teach students the shit they're supposed to know by the time they get to college, so they don't even try. In other words, institutions designed to teach thinking aren't doing in at the levels they were 15-20 years ago.

I never really discussed it with the instructors, but I think they just wanted to do the minimum and pass all but the dumbest. It makes them and the school look bad if the failure rate was too high.

And I thought you had a firm grasp on the English language (most of the time).

Seriously, what is the purpose of this thread?
To bitch about how stupid everyone else is, thus making yourself look superior?

Not buying it... :dunce:

If you were a thinking person who understands the English language, then you could read my posts and figure it out.

That was my experience in higher education before I got out. Coming from the administration, universities all over the country are dumbing down the curriculum in the interest of retaining tuition-paying students. That's one reason why I left higher ed.

So insulting people on internet forums is supposed to do what for you? How are you winning friends and influencing folks online by just launching insults at them? How is that method working for you?

I'm sorry that you feel offended by me pointing out that the purpose of your thread is pompous grandstanding.

You have a simple mind and your ego requires too much attention.

A really good psychiatrist may be able to help with that.

Maybe...

Now you are making assumptions about my age?

You really aren't as smart as you think you are.

Being exposed must really suck for your fragile ego...

How do you know my ego is fragile? When did I write anything about your age?

And, what is the point of you insulting me over and over and over? What does that do for you? How does it advance your cause? How does it advance your affinity for a thoughtless society?

Why are you opposed to thinking? What has thinking ever done to damage you or hurt you?
