MM CHILL brother as a dad with two kids in post secondary education I find it disturbing to believe that you think they are brats. I would hope you just spoke in anger and I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. However you may want to look at your post once again
Nope, no need to look at my post again - it's bad enough that I have to deal with the entitlement mentality of young people, and the complete lack of respect they show me in the classroom. I don't need the media and people on a shared interest board accusing me and all of my ilk of ruining their children.
As KS said, a vast majority of people in academic fields lean towards the liberal side, but that doesn't mean we deserve the kind of ridicule, accusations, and derision we face from the right on a daily basis. That very disrespect might be a large part of the REASON so many of my colleagues are liberals.
Then we will agree to disagree, I will not state my opinion of what you have said or what I think of your post. Suffice to say I am not in agreement with most of what you said and my expierence in highschool and university certainly doesn't agree with yours, or my dealings with my childrens educators while they were highschool. As for University they look after that themselves
If you are that soured then perhaps you need to reflect on your chosen profession
Edit to add My apologies to the yard. This has the potential to disrupt the harmony we all enjoy As far as I am concerned the issue is closed and I will post no more about it.
MM if you have taken offense (for that matter anyone else) please feel free to PM me
