Christina Wyman: Some students who fail their programs still believe that they should graduate with their degrees of choice. The expectation is that they will get exactly what they want — after all, they paid for it. - NBCNewsTHINK
as an expert chemist can, despite faculty and student support, be terminated over a relatively small handful of student complaints about grades, there is very little hope for the future of teachers, students and education.
In a typical example, one student I had approached me at the end of the semester to tell me why he deserved an A when, mathematically, his grades had produced a B. He pointed out that his friend in the course had received an A, and he felt he deserved one, too. In declining the student’s request, I was helped by having no reason to think my bosses would side with him.
When education is viewed as a commodity instead of a set of skills that must be earned and practiced to allow one to perform a certain job, since knowledge can’t be bought, it makes sense that some students feel entitled to dictate the outcomes of their experiences.
