This article is disrespectful of what students have to do to get a college education today. The students they criticize are the same ones pulling the outmoded college cart by paying their tuition with ever increasing amounts of debt. Without those students there would be no salary or study. Plus, the authors students seem to be doing what they are asked and giving back generally positive ratings.

If pointing that out makes me bitter then so be it.

> This article is disrespectful of what students have to do to get a college education today. I completely agree with you on this point. I am quite annoyed with the article. > So why do they deserve to have such an ungrateful and cynical article written about them? No they don't. But, do you really need to reply "fuck you and the horse you rode in on?"?

This is exactly the attitude why I get out of teaching!!! Daddy already paid you loads and loads of money! How is it that you expect me to make, like... an honest effort? Yeah, whatever. The article may be right or wrong, but you are so above it to discuss it in its own merits. No, you paid your money, so you must get your cheese, right? Sorry to let you down, son, but the thing they use in the MATRIX to download skills into a living brain do not exist. It is Science Fiction, it will never be true. You would know that if you grabbed a few damned books and read 'em. And just for the record, I am not old enough to have forgot about all the hours that I wasted while in undergraduate school. At least I did never go crying to the principal office to complain that i did not get the grades i "deserved".
