Man, I hate it when profs dump on students. Sudents are students. They're
big kids, just hardly starting to disentangle themselves from their parents,
while looking into the looming abyss of the 9-5. <br>
<br>
C'mon. <br>

I was about to retire from full-time college teaching, I sent out<br>
several rather caustic fulminations about our colleges. When I complained
<br>
about students, someone on one of these lists took me to task and said that<br>
I had to learn how to deliver things in discrete five-minute sound bites
to<br>
accommodate today's low-attention-span students. That was five years ago.
<br>
Probably be two-minutes now. Glad I quit.<br>
