This is not the proper forum to discuss this issue so all further discussion
should be restricted to e-mail.  You've go it all wrong sonny.  Students
should have a desire to learn, but universities are supposed to be
educational institutions.  I never said anything about being spoonfed.  It's
really nice how people misrepresent original posts in their responses.
The problem with the american educational system is that it's not an
an educational system.  It's a money grubbing research system where professors
compete for grants.  Having a professor repeat information that you could
read for yourself in a book for a whole course is a waste of time and that
professor should not be working at a university.  I have no desire to
get into a debate about education.  You're going to believe what you
believe and I'm going to believe what I believe and neither of us is going
to convince the other to change his mind.
