>>16714096>>16714207>>16714520>He thinks people actually get the grade they deserveIn the US, you are pretty much forced to artificially inflate scores so that most of your students pass. There is absolutely zero incentive to actually do a good job at teaching; the only thing that matters is getting good reviews, and the only way to get good reviews is to make sure everybody gets a good grade.
Students will complain to the department if the homework or exams require the slightest amount of critical thinking, so everything just becomes rote-learned computations, which they still somehow manage to fuck up.
Moreover, college kids' literacy skills are atrocious. They legitimately cannot read and comprehend anything longer than a brief sentence. I had students complain to the department because my homework questions were "too wordy". Their writing skills are even worse than their reading comprehension; most of them are incapable of writing full sentences, and even if they manage to, it ends up being incoherent slop.
I end up giving about half my students in each class an A, and only end up failing the ones who miss exams and never submit homework, despite the fact that about 80% of them should never have been allowed to graduate high school.
Lastly, the majority of lecturers in the US are grad students. We are forced to waste our time teaching entitled mouth-breathers who don't even want to learn, and we get paid less than some of the students who have part-time jobs. You see it every year, the new grad students come in excited to teach, and then realize how monumentally retarded the students are, and in less than a single semester, their disposition has flipped.
