I remember a professor in grad school giving me around 100+ negative / corrective comments and zero praise on a paper.
Very few in the academy today have the spine, intellect, and care required to give such a generous gift.
I sometimes suspect that, in certain fundamental and humanistic (dare I say "trivial"?) respects, comparing @WYOCathCollege's standards to those of Harvard is an instance of "punching down."

You better not be Tom Jones in a purple suit singing Purple Rain when I get home!!!
Me :
Tragedy
Mad with guilt, she flagged down the police,
Deciding suicide by cop would do the trick.
Alas, she was Norwegian;
Humanely, they lock her up.
Infinities of cozy rehabilitation lie before her,
Not catharsis.

🚨🚨🚨 Parents I’ve got news for you. Even if your child gets extra time, know that EVERY child in that class now gets extra time. Teachers are over trying to figure out who gets what for testing, so they just give the exam and students have as long as they need. Those that finish early usually just read or play on their device. “Timed” classroom tests no longer exist and as far as standardized tests, the data shows that extra time does NOT increase scores for those students. It’s anecdotal. So save yourself the paperwork and hassle and just make sure your child understands how to study for a test. And yes, I know there are specific special education needs but again everyone is getting the accommodation now.
"The number of parents seeking test accommodations for their kids is out of control. And private schools are largely to blame."

There is a real threat to the English language that it becomes 'Globish'; its status as the de-facto lingua franca, spoken far more as a foreign language than by native speakers, stripping it of idiom or expression. English-speaking universities ought to be a bulwark against this
Oxford University has told staff not to use common phrases such as "learn the ropes" or "find your feet" over fears they confuse foreign students, sparking concern at the new scheme of language policing. dailysceptic.org/2026/10/12/…

-calling your girlfriend your “partner”
Two fairly basic things to remember about 'Carrie'.
1. King was a high school teacher
2. The plug it up story came from his wife, who witnessed that actually happening
Talking about realism is disingenuous. It happened, it was real.

Replying to @JonNeale @PenumbraeLeo
Slightly fighting the urge to just repost my previous answer: teachers and nurses are second-order infrastructure, they are important to the overall engine but they are not the wealth-creating component of it, and only defining 'wealth creation' uselessly changes that.
