Yeah, but what does this have to do with with the front page Times article?

Schmier wrote; Read today's New York Times front page? Do. The article is "Risky Rise of the Good Grade Pill." It talks of "study drugs." and "good grades pill" It's a depressing article about the growing use of stimulants and performance drugs, "academic steroids," for getting outstanding high school transcripts in order to get into the "right" college or university. The heck with well-being; just perform well. The heck with learning; just deal with the fear, pressure, insecurity, demands, temptations to get the good grade. You think it's any different on our campuses? If you do, you're in denial or living in la-la-land. Grades: downside and downslide from academic use to abuse to addiction. And, we professors are part of the problem, and it's not just a small cameo role. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: lschm...@valdosta.edu.
