No, I don't think the tail wags the dog. The corruption of the US education system is due to govt taking over student loans and using the loans to force the colleges to change to match policy or go away. That policy being the worship of govt and the left, diversity is promoted to replace the white middle class voters.

It's because the quality of students has nosedived as attendance has increased. As a result, most college teachers who actually care become jaded after beating their head against endless waves of moronic students who put in no effort, expect good grades for no reason, and have the intellectual capacity of a kumqat.

It's like asking "Why do primary school teachers in inner city schools stop caring". Look at the "we wuz kangs" students who suck the enthusiasm out of them.

That's a cop out excuse used by professors. You must be a professor or someone trying to be a professor.

The university I went to had pretty much all smart, driven people, at least in my area. I didn't do jokey classes.

I have several friends who teach. The ones at private institutions tend to be pretty impressed with their students. The ones at public institutions tend to be horrified by the droves of students there on athletic or diversity scholarships who don't grasp basic concepts like plagiarism, attending class, or completing homework.
