I know.. I can read. You were criticizing conservative ideology about intellectualism, but since you tied it to a comment about college professors I wanted to take the opportunity to make fun of your major and point out what a joke college is. It's as if you assumed Nea making a negative comment about college professors is an actual indicator of his conservative disdain for intellectualism.. hmmm. Connecting the dots is hard.

In my experience college is suffering from the same problems as the rest of the educational institutions in that they are focused more on money and test scores and less on education.. There is really no excuse for Americans to be as uneducated as they are considering all the benefits we have from living here.
To give you an example, I was a teacher's assistant for a professor, who had to make her tests easier because they are required to have X amount of kids get certain grades/not fail. This professor was very thorough, ALWAYS available outside of the classroom, and really on the ball. If people were doing poorly it was 100% their fault, or in some cases real life got in the way. I mean I have the same complaints about how echochambery and reluctant colleges are to discuss topics that dissent from which ever way they lean, but I don't have a disdain for intellectualism. Also, maybe I just don't read enough of Nea's posts, but I never got that vibe from him. |

Yes, because it's good for business.
LOOK AT THESE STATS! OUR COLLEGE ROCKS! GIVE US UR MONIES! Edit: Perhaps, "required" was a bit hyperbolic, but it's basically HIGHLY frowned upon if you don't meet certain criteria, and if you're not tenured you might as well not expect to have a job in a couple years. |
