All of these anecdotes - data - is why I have no degree. Sure, a student can be lazy. But in most cases like these, it's that you inadvertently hit a weeder course. It's effectively a landmine. And schools benefit from these too. It lowers GPA's, threatens loans and grants, forces you on a different path, and they still get paid for not doing their end of the implied bargain. And naturally, these "teachers" are nearly immune from criticism, which is why this story is being blasted everywhere.
