[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Professors are generally arrogant blow hards with unearned superiority complexes. [/quote]

Yep.  Absolutely.  That's why I'm up grading right now.

It does, however, make me wonder why you all seem to want so badly to send your children to study with people like me.  If we're so useless and awful, why waste money on us?  Surely you could find other ways to purchase a decent life for your kid.  And my life would certainly be easier if the only students in my classroom were the ones who actually wanted to be there.[/quote]

Get over yourself and your self-absorption. Everyone works long hours in their careers at some point. [/quote]
What does working long hours have to do with the point that parents disparage professors as "arrogant blow hards with unearned superiority complexes" and at the same time are willing spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to have their children spend four years studying with them? I think that the professor PP makes a good point. I feel bad for kids whose parents look down on professors. What kind of college expectations are you setting up for your child? And god forbid your child actually enjoys learning for one of the blow hards. Do you think that your child will want to share that excitement with you?[/quote]
