As someone whose secondary and post-secondary schooling was all done in the 21st century, I can tell you the low bars and wasted freshman year wasn't status quo even 15 years ago (the fees were. University has always been a racket in that regard).
That it could change so much, so quickly should terrify everyone.
It is so terrible, I cannot even put it into words.
FWIW, “colleges” know this, and they don’t fucking care…
I even got to ask my vice chancellor, in a Zoom conference, about this, and she basically said “Too bad. If you don’t like it, perhaps you shouldn’t be here.”
And yet this is after two years of IN PERSON study, and being made to pay the exact same fees, despite it being “moved online”…
So yeah, trust me, if you thought it was bad before, it’s so much worse, since Covid…

Online study is the worst thing ever…

To clarify, this is for STEM.
Doing STEM pracs online is the fucking worst…
You were just at a college that hadn't caught up yet.
