@DocPriyamMD I think there's are 2 main reasons. For some their identity is solely wrapped up in being a (PhD) doctor. For others, "I have full respect for the grind, BUT..." doesn't feel like you do. I'm not saying you do/don't. If just feels that way. Human nature then makes them defensive.
@GBUnitedx He was not considered an elite super star hence your what was his name. However, you could tell he was in the lineup day in and day out because of his work ethic. Imagine if the team's superstars worked as hard as Blind did.
@TimSullivan714 Giving grades is a way of signaling. Employers should be able to distinguish a C at Harvard is different than a typical institution. Inflating grades provides less information.
@PhdDfs In grad school I had a student show up for a final exam. This was literally the first time I saw him. I doubled check to make sure he was in my class. I then told him since he had zero on everything else, there was no need to take the exam. He said okay and then got up and left.
@lpky@Weir4Liberty I understand the distinction between public and private organizations, but it surely doesn't feel like it is in the spirit of liberty. But if you want to have that narrow notion, you are free to do so.
@johnamonaco@yuuiichive When people mispronounce words but use them correctly, it's a sign of being well read. They read them but don't hear them. Clearly the person who asked you how to pronounce school is not well read, or perhaps they would have realized that.
@pearson I did. I sent numerous to @PearsonSupport yesterday, but they went unanswered.
Quite frankly, your chat support is awful. I always know more about your product than they do. I have had minimal success with @PearsonSupport in the past, but not yesterday.
@PearsonSupport@pearson Your Project Creation Tool, MyLab IT, is failing to grade correctly. I have an exam tomorrow and would really like some help. I am currently talking to Pearson support online who know less about your product than I do. Please read my dm and help me.
Truly disappointing support
Whenever I use your chat online, I know more about the products than those who are intended to help me.
Some issues are time sensitive, but we have no way to address that, & while you have been a little more responsive in the past, you aren't today!
