I got an incredibly good undergraduate education and I'd say the vast majority of the faculty at the STATE university I attended were qualified, conscientious and imparted their information in a way that made me want to learn! And one or two 'hippies' in the mix were an education all on their own. Learning can encompass many things, what you like and don't like for classes or instruction methods can be useful too! And one can often choose classes/ instructors with input from other students so as to avoid teaching styles you dislike or get the ones you prefer.

Yes dear, but you went to college(forgive me)almost 20 years ago. Most of those hippie types weren't teachers yet. And its not a gross generalization. Have you looked at a course book for Berkeley? NYU? Texas A&M? Frightening stuff. I'll send you a copy of the Berkeley one if you'd like. Pretty spooky.
