<br>
<br> What's all that tuition for if not to get some of those highly skilled
<br>  people to actually
<br>  teach my kids?  And why not freshman comp?
<br>
<br>You could send your kids to MacMurray College (ahem), where the English
<br>department faculty (ahem) teach freshman comp. . . . of course, we don't have
<br>any graduate students to do it for us.
<br>
<br> It is simply not possible to teach 4-5 courses and do anything else at all.
<br>
<br>I used to think that way, teaching 4 courses each semester plus one in
<br>January. Then I read in the _ Chronicle of Higher Education_ about a guy who
<br>writes a book every two weeks, and I felt lazy.
