It really gets to me how most schools spoon-feed their students. Why, so they can get higher graduation rates with dumbed down students? If we didn't do the work, we got a 0% for not doing it, simple as that. What, is the student supposed to get points he/she didn't earn? I'm curious to see what they give the students on assignments they don't turn in. Things like that really bug me, especially as someone who works hard for a 3.8 GPA. You get the grade you work for and that should be that.

It amazes me that people who don't show up to class and do their homework expect to get a good grade. I've seen a few times where a kid will start coming in at the end of the semester after having only attended a handful of classes expecting their grade to rise. Then they go and blame the professors. It really is a sad state of affairs.
I have a reoccuring dream that I am in a class and haven't been all semestar and I am having to go take the final...I have had this dream forever...you would think being out of college for 22 years it would ease up but nope....
