I know I'm old school, but when I was a student at ISU--December leading up to finals was a pretty rough ride.
"Dead Week" (does that even exist any more?) was meant for studying...lots of hours in the library, study room, etc.
Ok, so now enter the College Football Playoff. Championship game in 2024 is Saturday, December 7. First round of the CFP is Saturday, December 20. One will require travel, and both could require travel. Plus an incredible amount of preparation getting ready for the games.
I assume Finals Week would be the week leading up to the championship game?
So, my question is--when do these kids go to class? When do they study? When do they take exams?
I could not imagine prepping for finals, plus a CFP game.
I guess I don't get it. Has school been dumbed down that much over the past 40 years? When was the last time we heard about an academic issue?
And, are these the graduates we are sending out in the world with degrees?
