This has bothered me for a while now:  Why is it an accepted practice to pay people absurd amounts of money, so that they can tell you to go buy a (ridiculously expensive) book, take it home, read it, and come back to have them grade you on it?
fuck college.

To be clear: I’m not trying to argue the importance of homework.  What really pisses me off is making me buy a book, making me read it, and then never discussing the subject matter in class.
It’s a waste of time, money, and obviously, patience. 

I don’t, for the life of me, understand how this practice came to be excepted, or why is hasn’t been violently beaten down yet.  If you want me to read a book, you talk about it during your goddamned class time.  What? you don’t have time to do that? fine.  Neither do I. I understand that class time is valuable, but maybe like in real life, you have to learn to manage your time….

the biggest arguement for this practice that I’ve heard is “that’s just the way college works”, which pisses me off even more.  “That’s just the way it is, some things will never change.” Seriously?  We’ve never changed anything for the better or worse, ever? that’s the fucking excuse?  Guess I’ll just sit here in my damp, dark, hovel.  and maybe later, I’ll go beat one of my slaves until I feel better.  Perhaps while my wife stands barefoot in the kitchen, pregnant and not voting….
