That&#x27;s the case at every university; students are, for the most part, whiny entitled drunk and high children -- especially in intro classes. Giving their opinions influence over an adult&#x27;s career is absolutely insane.<p>The skillset required to really get through to kids like that is entirely divorced from teaching more advanced classes or research: it&#x27;s half nannying and half high-school football coach with a splash of the subject material.<p>And every department hires almost entirely based on research they have to more and more as budgets are slashed since research is their only opportunity to bring in more funding.
