This may be a bit off topic, but it stays with the spirit of the topic.
I am still attending an electrician’s course at a local (70 miles) technical school to enhance my OJT and work experience with "book learning". The courses have been good to great, but we have the proverbial 10% of students that wouldn’t know their butts from a hole in the ground.
Most of these guys drop out, but a few have stayed on and are actually getting “passed” on (just like the California public schools). They are getting Ds and Cs, but the instructors are passing them just to avoid the BS that comes with tossing these idiots out.
The school is over all a good one, but I can’t help but think whether I want to be associated with it, especially if an outfit had the misfortune to hire one of these idiots that got “passed on” and I want to work for them as well.
Yes, I have made my thoughts known and have been given a load of BS in response.
