What the sam hell has happened to higher education? I'm sorry; but not everyone is college material. Some students should be headed to trade school or on to apprenticeships. And that isn't to put anyone down; plenty of technical jobs are more challenging and better-paying, anyway. Besides, every job is equally important and worth doing well. But I shouldn't be forced to waste scant loan money on mandatory courses like this; particularly when I was already taking classes before I moved here and had a 4.0 GPA.
I am middle-aged now and acquired my life-skills and self-esteem the hard way - in the streets with the rest of the youth of my era.  |
It's hard to discern what might be the troubling issue, but your post made me .... giggle. The first thing that came to mind was that maybe your manical professor might be uninspired entirely, and possibly in dire need of a spirited game of: Ping Pong. However, I could be wrong about that. But, you definitely have street smarts on your side. I say, go with your street creds.
