You've said that you're holding your students' hands, so clearly you're doing something that they should be able to do for themselves. Most schools have some sort of online registration set up, so you must be sitting in a room waiting for individual students to walk up to you and tell you what they want to register for so that you can enter their choices onto a computer. Is this about right? Sounds like data entry. Does your school believe that students are too stupid to register themselves? Is there a shortage of computers? What's the reasoning? The answer to all your questions is "yes," except that last one. There's no "reason" involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. I've heard about community colleges run by administrations which are dominated by local business people who see the school as a money making venture. I've also heard that these non-academics run the school as if it were part of the service industry. Their motto might read, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chuckgp Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Scorpio Rising gives you a strong physique and tremendous physical stamina. Far more stubborn than you seem on the surface, you assiduously stick to your goals as long as there is a chance they will be achieved. It is difficult to convince you to change your mind once a decision has been made. Your emotional vulnerability remains concealed unless your natal sun or moon happens to be in Cancer or Pisces. You are are friendly and while you can be rather quiet, you have quite a gregarious personality and don't mind being in the spotlight. ----------------- It is highly unlikely that you, as a Scorpio rising, have that sinister or mysterious personality which popular literature tends to associate with the sign of Scorpio, but you are a keen observer and a shrewd speculator. heh-heh-heh-hahahaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Yeah...I knew you'd see that connection.Emotional vulnerability + lack of Scorpio's true beneficial trait -- the sinister mystery= (seeming predator turns out to be a gregarious fish)But you are getting Mystery tendencies from somewhere.All the extra-Biblical material and wacko mysticism stuff you flute so much.

Don't forget precession & its affect on the Zodiac every 26,000 years... the age of the Ram gave way to the age of the Fish about 2000 years ago.... Of course, theoretically that age has ended now, but some of us idealists linger on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members draelyc Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by chuckgp That was the Bull, not the Ram, I think? All I know is that Ares preceeds Pisces; thus, you see Jesus, as the World Teacher, depected with images of lambs & sheep, and also with Fish, as He represents the passing from the one age to the next. I do not know enough about Mithra even to guess about the Bull symbolism, beyond the fertility it's usually associated with. Care to lay the smack down for me?

Members Loghead Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by draelyc Wow, you nailed it -- that is precisely the situation here. "Students are our customers," and instructors are here to provide "customer service." Of course, as you know, the customer is always right, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to teach someone who's "always right." Probably a third of our students are non-trads who worked in mills for 30 years, until outsourcing decimated the SC textile industry. Another third are 17-18, fresh out of HS and didn't get into bigger colleges or universities for academic reasons. The last third *did* get into bigger schools, ended up having a fantastically fun time, and now are here, trying to nurse their devastated GPAs back to tolerable health. Factor in an underlying lack of any sort of coherent institutional philosophy and you'll have a pretty good picture. I think you should offer a class entitled, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
