Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Or at least, they start college less prepared than they used to.
I find that we have to spoon feed students a lot of stuff that I wasn't given in college, and that failure spoon feed results in students who panic and flail and find themselves unable to perform said task. I wouldn't call that entitlement, not sure what I'd call it. Lack of life skills? But dude, I lacked life skills when I was a freshman, somehow I coped.
Well maybe if Jesse smoked less pot, she wouldn't have such a hard time remembering her classes.
I did fewer drugs than just about all my friends, but they remember more than I do.
Wait, no, there was the one friend I recently called out about lying about when she lost her virginity. I'm not sure what she thought she was going to get away with, in front of me and her new friend. Woman sent out POSTCARDS announcing the happy event, and I'm supposed to forget when it happened?
Lack of life skills?
More like initiative and independance. I tell you, it all goes back to cell phones.
I hardly smoked any pot at all in college!

I wonder if this is related to the psychotic hoops they all jump through now just to get into college. I'm 100% convinced I would, today, never get into the college I got into 15 years ago. Like, I'm smart, but I can't tighrope-walk while playing the trombone and fishing drowning children out of the bay, you know?
When you spend a year (or more) becoming convinced that the whole world is going to end if you get an A-, then you get to college and... remain convinced that the whole world is going to end if you get an A-.
Nutty, I think you're right.
Yeah, I got a C or D in health one quarter in high school (don't ask), and I never thought it would affect my chances of going to a good college. And, in fact, it didn't.
Um, aren't all finals cumulative for the year? At least for my schooling (both high school and college) they were. I can't remember a class that didn't include stuff from the entire course on the final.
In high school, I think most of my final exams were cumulative. Not in college. Well, not in the liberal arts classes I was taking. I suspect the engineering classes were different.
(don't ask)
Why, is it pot related?
