The Chronicle of
Higher Education gives us a look at the life of college professors in
America, providing useful statistics that parents and their young adults will
find most interesting when considering the next steps after high school;
statistics like only 24 percent of professors agreeing “That most students are
well-prepared academically” and as little as 12 percent thought that most of their
student were “very bright”.
Maybe the apparent dissatisfaction academia have for their students
is why they have so many conventions and conferences in tropical locations like
Hawaii while staying in 5-star hotels, or resorts in the Caribbean,
all paid for by someone else.
It’s no wonder two thirds of profs spend 12 hours or less in
a classroom each week, 35 percent of whom spend less than 9 hours; even with
added prep time, it still amounts to the effort of a part time job, one of the highest
paid ‘part time’ jobs in the States I would guess.
