[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another professor here, and I echo the sentiments of the others. You can look up any college and find “Student Success” offices, entire departments dedicated to providing academic and social support far beyond anything that was available 10 years ago. Students are coming to college less prepared than ever. It’s fine if you choose not to believe that grade and score inflation exist and are problematic, but your denial doesn’t change the facts. [/quote]

I don’t deny facts…I just don’t see any here.  Post links to the “facts” that shows the size of said office 10 years ago and the size now, or any research that proves you out.

I think you are correct, but you and other professors are receiving a failing grade with your empirical support.[/quote]

With due respect, I have no interest in doing your research for you. The fact of students’ under-preparedness is extremely well-known within colleges and among parents who will allow themselves to see reality. Grade inflation is also a fact. Ask your kids’ HS what the average GPA is. [/quote]

Meaning…you are a lazy POS.  I am not the one making unsupported claims…why is it so hard for any of you supposed “professors” to post a link to anything supporting your opinions?

This is getting kind of ridiculous.  I guess I should also research how the quality of professors is declining.[/quote]

Have fun with that. I don’t engage with people who name-call, so I’m done here. Let us know what your research yields. To anyone in academia, the fact of student decline is about as basic as the fact that the earth is round. But please, share your results once you discover them.[/quote]

Thanks for literally nothing.  You can’t link to anything…how pathetic is that?

Are professors all this useless?[/quote]

Stop. You're embarrassing yourself. I think the previous poster figures they shouldn't have to offer that the earth is not flat, but here you go.

You linked to WSJ letters to the editor and a study on test scores for 13 year olds.

You literally just embarrassed yourself.

Why is this so hard people?[/quote]

I think you're drunk. This is amazing. :D[/quote]
