The snowflakes are falling so gently.
We had a physics instructor in college where half the students would end up flunking his class. We called him, Mean Gene the Physics Machine. I passed😅.
I taught digital media management to postgraduates at a private university, and over the last few years students stopped wanting to be educated and became buyers of credentials.
Imagine that. Colleges became giant financial rackets that charged ridiculous prices for an “education” that often turned out to be worthless … and people wonder why the students began treating it as exactly what it had become.
