Students ARE fragile flowers. Students with learning disabilities as we know can be genius (Einstein, Darwin).  With providing the proper support we only gain from those students who desire to learn and contribute, but who otherwise would be left in the wake. 

Look at the world we live in.  Look at what the student body in programs valuing marks above all else, such as medicine looks like - not very diverse.

If we want to measure intelligence by only considering the race for marks, we are regressing.

Look at the positive impact that progressive measures, such as emotional dogs,  to reduce campus suicides have had. 

So sad to read these comments which seem to be a high percentage of professors who feel annoyed WHY? 

I think it would be more fair to discuss the inequity of elite colleges to which parents pay huge sums to transform their average offspring pump into star lawyers.
