One must cynically understand that few people attend college to obtain an education. At best, this rates a distant second on their list of priorities. They are there, first, last, and foremost to acquire a credential so that they can get a good paying job. At the back of their mind, these individuals desire to scam the system. Thus, they really don’t give a damn whether their teacher is a postmodernist lunatic or a truly qualified professional. As matter of fact, the easier grading is perceived as a wonderful thing. It makes life so much easier. And their parents are not going to be upset—until their children’s degree is deemed of little value by employers.
