&gt;Teachers are supposed to be experts at matching students with explainations of concepts.<p>I thought teachers were supposed to be experts in their field of study that have a desire to pass that knowledge on to those that are interested. Not everyone will have the capacity for learning those things. As an example, I love art but despite years of trying both books and classes, I just cannot bring the images in my mind into the physical world. I&#x27;m a responsible enough adult to accept that this is my shortcoming and not the fault of my teachers. I simply don&#x27;t have the hand-eye coordination necessary to produce the things that I can imagine.<p>&gt;[edit] The attitude of teachers astounds me<p>The overly-privileged, entitled attitude of the younger generation astounds me. You have to work for what you get. The world does not owe you a living. You have to understand that you are not a special little flower that is more important that everyone else. That said, neither are you just another cog in the machine unless you choose to be so. It is perfectly possible to be an individual without being a disrespectful, self-important boor. Why is it okay for you to inconvenience your professor, who likely has a life outside of work, but it is unthinkable for them to schedule anything that inconveniences you. What makes you more important than the other 500 students they are teaching this semester?
