During the school year about the only thing I ever saw him do during the evenings was correct student writing. He thought practice and constant feedback helped them express themselves better. Alas, as Megan demonstrates, nothing can compensate for a writer unwilling to make basic efforts.

Poorly-thought-out, poorly researched crap from an Ivy grad gets published, while insightful, accurate material from the product of a state school languishes. <br /><br />Both McMegan and Bush the Lesser got prestige MBAs that appear to have brought about little learning on the part of their recipients; can we therefore open up a line of skepticism about the value of these degrees?DocAmazingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-39244206969381202942011-02-21T10:40:10.093-06:002011-02-21T10:40:10.093-06:00See also: Matt YglesiasSee also: Matt YglesiasMorbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-88924578850653912122011-02-20T19:02:22.504-06:002011-02-20T19:02:22.504-06:00She really publishes without spellchecking?

I wish I'd known that- it tells one a <i>lot</i> about what she really is even without knowing the content: Lazy,sloppy, ignorant and conceited, too indifferent or contemptuous of her "readers" to even offer them a properly spelled essay, let alone a factual or thoughtful one.<br /><br />Very interesting.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176801494652946278noreply@blogger.com
