That settles it.
Any college teacher who says that was a good paper is full of crap.

I thought this was interesting reading.
Some have argued that the group, Skull and Bones has sought to alter the U.S. educational system. Food for thought....

One more parting shot before I leave for the evening..... At what point, do you think, did we as a nation or generation, become a self-righteous, contemptuous, and lazy culture? I don't think teachers ever deliberately underestimate the abilities of their students, it's just that over time, I think ...

See if this makes any sense to you.... to teach at the college level , all one needs is a Master's degree or higher and you are hired for the job. Professors don't have to take any type of courses on learning HOW to teach effectively, learnin...

Other countries don't coddle their students and baby them like we do here. Giving...

Why not just make education available for those who want to pay for it? People would pay for the type of education services that they want rather than a mandatory "across the board" ("one size fits all") curriculum. Everyone would get what they want that way. In the end, however,...
