College Shower Their Students With A's Analysis
I remember crying every night during my first semester of college stressed in my bedroom trying to complete everything before my nine o clock morning class starts, with different papers to be written, homework assignments, and projects gathered all around me to be finished.

However, he’s angry at the fact parents and students may find it rewarding to receive an easy A without doing anything which isn't the proper way to receive an education because you basically don’t learn anything. If professors keep making it easy for students to receive an easy A, education wouldn’t matter at all, and diplomas would become much weaker and valueless as the years go by.
