They think tuition, books, everything should be free. Let the magical government money fairies pay for it.

I remember when they first started baby-proofing houses. I thought that was a bad idea because the baby never had to learn the meaning of the word "NO". Look at today's kids.

Now they want to baby-proof college, the final stop before real life.....

Who thought something that is such a simple concept could be so complex?

Maybe my PTSD is really from overdue library books and not from my 3 tours of Vietnam.

What's next? Turning in papers on time is too stressful? Just let them turn them in when they want. One week late, one month late next semester, or the semester after.

OK. The fines are still there. I bet the tax payers will have to pick this up too from this PRIVATE university.

So...um...fines aside, what the hell is a student supposed to do if a book they need is checked out, and the other student who has it won't return it?

I would think not being able to obtain a book I need for class or research is a hell of a lot more stressful than a couple dollars in fines.

Do the people making these decisions even take two seconds to think through the logical implications?

Isn't college supposed to be a period where you should learn how to navigate life and be an adult?


Apparently not, at age 45 I took the LSAT exam at a local college, it was to start at 8:00AM, I was in my seat at 7:45, at 8:10 there were still students wandering in, the proctor said we would wait a while longer for late comers, then there were students that didn't even bring a pencil. The doors should have been locked at 8:00am, showing up for the test on time with a pencil should have been the first elimination round for those that wanted to be a lawyer.

Why is it that all of the whining on shite like this comes from the wealthy pussies at schools like Harvard?
