Never thought I'd see that combination of words before...

You haven’t seen me take off my glasses and pick up the chalk. Students quake.

Also, even though I mostly dress in the day like Captain Marvel, my Wonder Woman attire doubles as extremely supportive underwear. I’m ready for anything.
There are many different kinds of power. When it comes to Wonder Women, for instance, I'm not sure which power I'd succumb to first.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Your recent posts attacking me over and over, making false accusations and derailing threads
No, I simply respond to the things that I don't like, you do the same thing. When I say something you don't like you respond in less than 2 minutes. I hope you are not a professor. How do you have the time to be a professor and participate full time here? Do your TAs do all the grading and work for you? I bet you only work 3-6 hours a week and make your class unnecessarily hard to torture your students. And you wonder why heart attacks and obesity are going up, young people only have time for fast food.

You make between 150 to 200 thousand dollars a year and all you do is go after me. You make enough to make the world a better place, but you don't. I just hope you don't take forever to reply to students when they send you an email asking for help. Go do something that will make the world a better place. Please! I was trying to be your friend, but you hate me too much. I hope you don't treat your students the same way. When you were a student things were much easier.

IBM’s Institute for Business Value, in conjunction with the Economist Intelligence Unit, surveyed almost 1,000 industry and academia leaders for their views on the issues confronting higher education.

The results paint a picture of a broken system that is in desperate need of repair.

According to the survey, fewer than half of respondents - 49% - felt higher education was meeting the needs of students, while a smaller proportion still, 41%, said it met industry’s needs. Only 43% said it gave students the skills they needed to join the workforce.

Too much truth right there. :confused:

And yet I remain hopeful. Not about this thread though.

I am really going to start quoting you like crazy if you keep quoting me. I was just trying to be friendly.
Your recent posts attacking me over and over, making false accusations and derailing threads are you trying to be friendly? Bull. SHI’T.

I admitted that Mormon Discussions is my punching bag. I do regret it, I am just trying to get it over with and clear my name.

You and me both, babe. Maybe the OP will grow out of it eventually. I solidly retract my opinion that we are dealing with a fully grown adult here.
