Does not surprise me. At my college, we are seeing increasing numbers of kids who definitely should not be here. Almost all are classified as disabled, so (per Federal law) we have to accommodate them. The result is chaos. They either fail their classes or cannot finish them. If the latter, we have to give them incompletes, which they typically never complete.

In some cases, my jaw drops when I deal with these kids. They are in such bad shape (psychologically) that is hard to believe the school is taking their money. Not sure if greed, regulations (or both) is driving in. Whatever the cause, it is a disgrace.

A high school diploma and a college degree are worth nothing today. Minorities don’t need to know anything to get a job - they are given jobs they don’t qualify for. Whitey will get to do the work, while the minorities will get a salary.

Keep it up you fool “educators”. No one will respect any of your worthless “degrees”. Fools.

We pretend to teach.
You pretend to learn.

It’s a win win.

I was just appointed to the “Budget Committee” to advise (hahaha) the School Board....I intend on wreaking havoc...in any little way I can...because I have watched the education system for the past 20+ years and KNOW it has failed....

Academia’s credibility and cost are heading in opposite directions at warp speed.
