[quote]I have had several bad experiences with professors trying to push their own agenda /quote]
I will never forget the human ecology class I had for this reason. The donkey rear that taught it apparently took exception to my large family as he made every class session all about birth control. Seriously. I think he was trying to convert me to his own beliefs or something. We never used the textbook even ONE time in that class. All the other students thought it was great to get a fluff class until the final exam worth 100% of our grade was handed out and they didn't know squat. Thankfully I had delevoped armadillo skin and had read the text assignments according to the syllabus. I still got a C because the test essay was to write how birth control had improved my life and what would be the negative impact of not using birth control. Yeahhh. My essay on how not using birth control has been a great thing for us and what the negative impact on my life would be if I used it meant I failed that 25 pt portion of the test.
But I learned a lot about human ecology anyways. Still have the textbook somewhere. But I sure am not going to give any credit to the class setting for what I learned.
Oh and I remember 3 girls in the class who were working towards a degree in general education bc they wanted to teach elementary school. The horror of meeting a mom with 6 kids and she home schools! They said I was crazy and they didn't know how I do it. I looked at them in amusement and said, "You do know what elementary teachers do, don't you?" and they replied that is different. Well yeah sure it is, but call ME crazy for limiting myself to only dealing with my own kids?:confused: You could not pay me enough to teach 20+ other people's elementary kids all the same age. *shudder*hilarious
