>As for the topic of schools, I'm not bothered by it. Part of the learning in college comes from learning how to meet deadlines and get results.It's not so much about writing the paper on your own, but providing an end product to the end user. That type of skill will serve people well later in life.
I love when people are honest about their cynicism! Call me a hopeless romantic, but I think the other "part of the learning" is about learning skills and internalizing habits. On the one hand, becoming a good cheat may very well enrich you, but you won't actually learn how to write a freaking paragraph via that route.
Yet again, I am amazed by the decadence and worthlessness of so much of humanity... perhaps that is what happens when you turn 40 ....
EDIT: I don't find the poster I replied to worthless and decadent, just the customers of the ghost writer.
- nhangen 15y agoIf it makes you feel any better, I outsourced my java homework in college because I didn't think I'd need to learn programming. Come to find out, I did need to learn it, but I also needed to learn how to manage freelancers, which I do now on a daily basis. So maybe cheating/taking shortcuts paid off a bit, just not how you would expect it to.
