All opinions were valued in my class. The only time opinions were not allowed was on exams. Since I taught science classes BS did not fly well. It sure worked in other areas on campus however. I would have loved to have you in my class.
Exactly, brainwashed. Talk about taking responsibility for ones self. How about taking responsibility for controlling your own MIND. You're the only one who gives or takes control of you're life, IMO. So many allow a thought planted by someone else to come out of their mouth and claim it to be their thoughts.
IMO college is about learning to jump through hoops in a timely manner. Like it or not, success in life is often based on our ability to do so in work, relationships etc. Most people in business fail for lack of discipline, not necessarily lack of intelligence.
