Hey Tom, better have a look at this thread. The Cobber doesn't
understand how you, or any instructor, could be so negligent to
allow a student out the door, with a passing grade, who doesn't
understand absolutely everything you've taught him. =20
Translation:
Mr. Mount,
It has come to my attention that a certain Mr Cobber is expecting =
students under your certification program to demonstrate a certain =
baseline level of competence.

Kindof like me expecting every one of my patients to never miss a single =
dose
of medication, ever. I guess the Cobber expects you to hold
every student's hand, even after they've received a passing grade.
Translation:
This absurdity is like expecting doctors to be able to figure correct =
medication dosages before they are allowed to graduate. Of course, we all =
know that the standard procedure in these cases is to scribble, mumble and =
blame the patient for non-compliance.
Michael J. Black said:
Bet you didn't know that you're supposed to be responsible FOR
your students' actions, besides being responsible TO them as an
instructor. Give it a rest Cobber, you're starting to look like
the moron you really are.=20
Traslation:
The current prevailing attitude of profit over accountability has become =
the defacto standard and easily justifys quantity vs quality instruction. =
I appreciate Mr. Cobber bringing this to our attention but believe his =
thoughts are a little off-base. While his beliefs may be more central to =
the bell curve, I belive we need radical fringe beliefs to give balance to =
the mainstream. With this in mind, I gladly accept the title of Moronus =
Residensius.
