The poster doth protest too much, methinks. Same for the SuperModerator
Rather pedantic for someone with only an associate's degree. When you grow up you will learn that it is not necessary to argue to make a point....
The paradigm shift is the dumbing-down of American culture. On-line, for-profit education is quite appropriate in the new paradigm.
Grades are, in many cases, proportional mainly to a student's ability and willingness to cheat. I saw this phenomenon illustrated routinely as an...
