[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If smart kids are failing at a high rate you are not doing your job as a professor. Sorry the free ride for average white makes is over. Welcome to the world the rest of us have to live in. Either do your job or get fired.[/quote] Why doesn’t this apply to the students? Their job is to study. It’s not the job of a college professor to pass students who won’t (or can’t) learn the material. “Meeting your students where they are” ends in high school. If you can’t do university level work, you shouldn’t be in a university. Unfortunately it seems “meeting the students where they are” in HS means we have an increasing number of kids who can’t do the work. The answer is not to dumb down the university. Maybe community college can fill the gap, but there are plenty of professions who need workers that don’t have college degrees. [/quote]
