A few years ago, I was called by a tenured EE prof (I had taught in that department long before) to take his advance communications theory class so that he could do some research. While giving an exam, I wandered the bldg to see what was being taught. With only one exception (a music theory class) the rest were absolute jokes and not worth of even a middle school (when public schools were actually good).

You’ll enjoy this ray of hope. I still do some tutoring, though might be phasing out this year. I’ve encountered a situation where a community college professor of the class for those who couldn’t pass a very basic math test (even though they’d guessed their way through required HS tests) did something really good. No calculators! Put away the computers! Write everything out! Sure enough, once those adults actually had to do math, including long division, per cents, decimals, proportions etc without a calculator, they got better!
