They are entitled only to the opportunity to have an education. THe education itself is something they have to work for.

Beautifully said Kathy. Sitting in a class and being babysat isn't the same as participating and studying. Like I've said before, the students today feel a good grade is owned to them if they just show up. And some professors will give at least one grade, 10%, for just showing up. Then they're given extra credit for practically doing nothing. I was stunned at what passed for an education while I was at CSUN. Cheating is considered a skill and classwork is considered unfair.
