I went back to school to get a degree in history. I was stunned by what I observed.
Many students have a sense of entitlement. They expect if they show up to class and cobble together assignments, they deserve a passing grade. Thank goodness professors (at least the ones I have had) do not succumb to that nonsense.
One class I took this semester required students to participate in peer review of papers written by other students. One female student who reviewed my paper giggled and said she could only find a couple of issues with my paper. That was ridiculous. Of course my paper had errors (it was at the draft stage).
Many students in that class were uncomfortable marking up drafts for fear of upsetting students. I suffered from no such apprehensions and marked up student drafts - in red ink.
What is most troubling is that many of these students are going on to be teachers in K-12. Some of them should not even be in college.
I once sat in a Middle School class in which the teacher was introducing Holocaust literature. She said WWII ended about 1947. As the only other adult in the room I came within a whisker of raising my hand to correct her, but decided discretion was the better option.
