Wouldn't that impact ultimately translate into something less that desirable in terms of learning?


Well, to me, if you stock a university with students who (mostly) all think alike, where's the education in that?

Well, I'm quite fond of you too, and it has nothing to do with what we agree on. It's more to do with how you handle yourself when we disagree. It's really too bad not all apologists behave as gently. I still have bruises from some of my encounters with others.
