I read something the other day eye opening. The U of Chicago does not require students to attend classes! Just pass their midterms and finals. So they can pay, sign up, show up maybe the first day or two, and spend the rest of the semester running around causing all kinds of idiotic trouble.
If it is a “soft” course, with a professor that doesn’t want to fail anyone, they can easily pass, especially if he is in cahoots with the troublemakers. “I’ll give them all A’s, they are out fighting against Trump”.
I was wondering why these campuses NEVER seemed to calm down. My campus back in the 70’s was way too busy with students attending class. 3 absences and you failed. The courses were rigorous.
This is sickening. Pay your money and it’s 4 years of self-indulgence. That’s not what college should be, especially what the public is funding. I’d love to see the public have more input into these universities, somehow, being they pay the taxes. I bet the sideshows would calm down fast.
I had the Hong King flu while in college in the 70’s had to bring a Dr. excuse for every class and with no Internet it was DAMNED HARD to catch up, I was working full time also did think I was going to be able to pull it off but with the grace of God I did it!!! These kids today I am just shaking my head and they seem to come out of college just STUPID!!!
