3 This part took me by surprise. MIT does this too since 1968. From the article:

"The program was also adopted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1968 and has since been implemented at the California Institute of Technology, Swarthmore College and Wellesley College.

MIT claimed that the grading system 'is designed to ease your transition to MIT by giving you time to adjust to factors like increased workloads and variations in academic preparation and teaching methods,' the university's registrar's office said."

5 Student enrollment is dropping. The beast needs more indentured fools to keep the student loan money flowing. Academia exploiting the 'lower' class. Tell me again about the oppressor and the oppressed.

Given that these same institutions are the ones turning out the teachers and education administrators, you think they would reexamine their own product that delivers less qualified applicants to their doors.

We started home schooling back in 1991 when the public schools around Ft. Bragg started spending more on Metal detectors than books and having "Cultural Theme Weeks and Days" .

No Felon's yet ☺.

7 @#3 those are private schools, big difference. This is a state school. The problem here is they dont care. They bitch and go shopping. If the public, the adult students from MI attending and all the parents paying, would get together and figure out a way to pressure the school, and other things, this would stop. But, as in so many ways, fat, lazy content Americans don’t care and/or the enemy is better aligned to smother it. The Adversary knows it and uses our own political, economic and social system against us. Instead of a broken windows response en masse by a group that cares everytime people sit at home and rollplay a civil war they don’t truly want to see. Like that would fix anything. The Kids of boomers are the last line. If they don’t get active. Bye bye. All you need is 3 generations and you have a reset.
