This bears repeating!

Yoinked from kaiousei:

First Year Students: "What? People care about attendance? This is University! I'm supposed come to class and do my work if and when I want to!"
Dawn: "GO TO DAL! Do not pass go, do not collect $200."

Why is this quote awesome?

1) Because it makes fun of stupid first-year students (and pretty much all other students who have that attitude).
2) It makes more fun of Dal than I've seen all week. Not that the Hole in the City song isn't good, it just doesn't share the same sweet simplicity of this quote!
3) Using a Monopoly allusion, no less, YES.

Heh. I'm one of "those" students. I cut classes and got great grades and 2 degrees in four years anyway. To me, college should be about:

1) Learning the material and
2) Getting the degree

If you can do both of these and cut a lot of classes, who cares? I don't think of higher education as a corporeal thing where physically filling a seat should make a difference.

Sure, required attendance mimics the reality of the business world, but that kind of hand-holding sounds more like high school to me. Besides, not everyone who gets a degree will end up in a desk job with strictly regulated hours. =p
