Everybody Passes

Brian, it goes like this. If a professor insists on standards, the so-called students whine to management, who, in turn, hammer the professor to avoid loss of tuition from failures, dropouts. I have lived this. The result is it is easier to pass everybody and let the next person deal with it, and so on, and so on. Finally, the cumulative damage destroys the value of the degree. This is why we are going to see a return to hardnosed interships and apprenticeships. We cannot afford this kind of prolonged adolescene as a society much longer. The result is outsourcing jobs to countries that have standards, discipline (the right word), and little money to waste on people who whine about rights and have no duties.
