[QUOTE="pinglett, post: 404336, member: 251"] I have to disagree a little. As a professor myself....and I could hack it in the real world.....I can say there are different philosophies of academic institutions. Some schools think more is better and everyone deserves a chance, so they have low admission standards then challenge themselves (faculty) to work with what they (the students) have. Others like Tech only let in students with demonstrated abilities, then 'encourage' those students to push for elite by setting the bar high and weeding out. Having tough professors and getting my rear end handed to me on several exams taught me alot about life and what 'work' is. Didn't find that out until I was pushed in over my head. When I started teaching at the University of Florida, I tried the Tech way (even a little toned down), but quickly realized the students couldn't handle it. We (and you) should be proud we even survived Tech in a similar way to a soldier who just made it through Special Forces training. Anyway, just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
