#woke educators

The gulf (it’s a chasm, really) between how well colleges and professors think they are preparing students for careers and the actual experience of employers makes perfect sense if you realize how few people in higher Ed have ever worked in the private sector. If you exist in a Woke academic fantasy world devoid of marketplace discipline, workplace job requirements are simply something you read about—but don’t experience for yourself.

“We want to make our students college and career ready…. Nowhere in college do you get 50% for doing nothing. Nowhere in the world of work do you get 50% for doing nothing…If I don’t show up to work, they don’t pay me 50% of my salary even if I made a reasonable attempt to get there.” (However, this keeps the classroom seats filled, the state aid based on mere attendance—results be damned—rolls in, and another generation of graduates is robbed of their futures. Welcome to Woke public education!)
