You'll probably have both in your life time. And, they will probably have learned more actually practicing their trade, then sitting through this idiot teachers 'weed out class' which is probably designed to fail students instead of teach them. Did you ever consider that colleges make more money when students have to retake classes or change degree plans a couple times. While colleges are often public and are not profit driven I'm sure the extra money helps with their admin & sport program costs. “I don’t want a affirmative action doctor and I don’t want a loser flunky nurse sticking a needle in my arm”

My take on this story was this teacher isn't buying into the PC BS that we're all the same in our achievemenets no matter how well we "test.". What do you want to bet her failed students were minorities? Anyone can get a college degree just short of taking a dump on the professors desk. No-one fails. I don't want a affirmative action doctor and I don't want a loser flunky nurse sticking a needle in my arm... I think there is a misunderstanding here.

I've had instructors like this myself. They provide useless lecture, unintelligible project definitions and are completely indifferent to teaching. They come in, they stand and rant and then leave. They love failing students because it give them a real ego boost. No sympathy babe. Whine whine whine. I’ve had instructors like this myself.

There were 2x Cs, 3x Ds, & 15x Fs. The teacher explained that the reason for the results had to be a failure of the students to study. Needless to say the class didn't take that well. :evil: I had this exact situation, except the class was a total of 20. There were 2x Cs, 3x Ds, & 15x Fs.
