[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I am the paying customer.  I expect high quality teachers (which rarely happens) and I expect my kid to behave in a proper manner, including addressing professors properly.  As they payer, I can cut funding at any time should neither live up to expectations.[/quote]

This post illustrates the issue OP is discussing. What the PP is really saying is that if junior (an adult, let’s not forget) doesn’t perform well, she/he is going to blame the school, the department, the dean, the professors, TAs with funny accents, etc. So long as Junior addresses everyone politely and gives a half-hearted effort, she/he thinks junior should earn top scores and matriculate with flying colors because PP really isn’t interested in the education per se, just the brand on the diploma that was apparently purchased and not earned.[/quote]
I did not interpret it that way
A school is not a holy of holies
The school, department, Dean, professors are not priests, therefore can be and should be criticized. How will they ever improve if the issues cannot even be addressed[/quote]
