Fleming's Fury

“I have been attending this university for about six years now, taking as many classes in as many different subjects as possible. I’ll let you in on a well kept secret, I like learning. It is a shame that not everyone shares this attitude, but it would be unrealistic to think that everyone should enjoy school.”

I have been attending this university for about six years now, taking as many classes in as many different subjects as possible.

I’ll let you in on a well kept secret, I like learning. It is a shame that not everyone shares this attitude, but it would be unrealistic to think that everyone should enjoy school.

One thing I have noticed in my time here is that there are a lot of students who probably have no business being on a college campus. That is, unless they’re here to beg for change or pass time waiting to donate more plasma.

How is it that at the collegiate level, there are people admitted into a degree-granting college who couldn’t point out Ohio on a map? I mean there are some real idiots out there.

This is not meant to tear apart people with learning disabilities or anything like that, this rant is directed at those who don’t have a problem but are just plain dumb.

Stupidity is not a medical problem.

Why is it that when I take a class, things are always slowed down and drawn out so that the people who couldn’t care less about school can keep up?

There isn’t a thing you can do to keep these people up to speed. You are only holding back those who actually want to learn.

Akron should raise its admission standards from their current stance of did their check clear? OK, they’re in to something of a more respectable level.

Being a graphic designer, I am expected to know how to do my job, yet there are people who graduated in years past, and who are going to graduate in the future, that don’t have the slightest clue as to what they are doing.

It honestly bothers me that I will be graduating in a week in a half with the same degree as these people.

It’s hard to respect a college when they churn out so many lacking professionals.

Raise the bar already. Help out those of us who take pride in Akron and want to represent it well in the working world.
