A student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, and kneels pleadingly."I would do anything to pass this exam," she says.She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, and gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean," she whispers, "I would do anything..."He returns her gaze, "Anything?""Anything."His voice softens, "Anything?""Anything," she repeats again. His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you ... study?"

That is hilarious, but the obvious thing to do doesn't cross our mind, like studying. A guy went to his GP and wanted some medical advise about his smelly feet, he told the doctor he tried all different creams and powders but the smell won't go away, after listening to him for a while the doctor asked him if he tried soap and water, to which he remarked, "Do you think that will work".

In 31 years of teaching I never had an offer like that.
However to students "homework" is two four letter words and "study" and "think" are two more. (Some students can't count.)

Which leads me to wonder WHY we think EVERYBODY needs to go to college. College in itself has become an industry. Admitting the unqualified...those who can't spell and do math...means money for the institution. Don't get me onto textbooks. When I was in college, the costs were reasonable. Now, a nomal textbook can cost well over $100. The only book that I can remember costing $120 (and not a textbook) was one written by a professor about about ancient Greek, published by Oxford University Press and having a limited publishing run, and this book was published only about 20 years ago. We're also hearing about the burden that college loans are placing upon families. Unfortunately, with everybody going to college, it's no longer become an advantage and jobs are scarce. That loan burden is not worth it to everybody. We need to re-think our university system.

Maby he was just built upside down. His feet smelled and his nose ran.
