>>>We verified that some teachers did indeed give the same test year after year. They had a reputation of “being there” but not demanding. Most of us in my group were on the GI Bill and pissed off at such crap. We went to school to learn – even if it was night classes. One girl from “days” came to our English 1 C class and after a few meetings announced how terrible night classes were. She said with great indignation, “Why you actually expect us to work! On days, we party”! I cannot imagine what type of students was being turned out on “days”! On second thought, yes I can! I have interviewed and met many in real life – losers all too often. Time to party? Forget it! There is a time for everything.

>>Hi, I just had to contribute to this one. I went to college for a year and then lost my grant. I joined the military and went to college at night. My night courses were so much more challenging that I asked one of my instructors about it. She informed me that night students made the extra effort to work and attend college and expected their moneys worth. If she attempted to teach with the same guidelines during the day, all of her students would fail and she would not be teaching the next year. Sad, isn't it? Needless to say, I acquired my diploma by attending night courses. Just took a lot longer!

>Not to mention that a lot of the teachers at night school are real-life people using the skills they are teaching you about as opposed to the typical pointy-haired professor who has the student teacher do their class and hasn't done an honest days work in ten years..

LOL with tears in my eyes!
