Re: students' concerns

[Raymond Rogoway]

To one and all. My humble apologies for  my "vitriolic" post. It was, I think, the result of "end of the year angst," trying to cram in a few last chapters before the Advanced Placement exam in May. The feedback both on the list of off-list was mostly appreciated. However Louis, don't disparage high school Psychology teachers and "mere" adjunct faculty. We are the ones who turn on your future students to Psychology. We are the ones who recommend specific universities to our students. Without us you would be running rats in some pharmaceutical lab and probably making more money than as a college professor. Louis, one needs not have a Ph.D. to communicate the excitement and dynamism of Psychology to adolescents, one needs patience. I teach in an independent school where a "typical" student in my AP Psych class is also taking 3 other AP courses and the average sleep time at night is four hours. You don't have to deal with parents who think that their student should have gotten one more point on an exam because they were "almost right." So I accept your attempt at enlightenment and plead "mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" for getting hooked into an everlasting drama on this list. PS, what would my student gain from attending  Valdosta State University? Oh well, back to grading. We don't have paid TA's.
