American media is trying real hard to convince the rest of the world that the US is a civilized Western democracy. But now and then posts like this remind us all that the US is just a 3rd world shit hole with a two party dictatorship and nukes.

A creative way to tell a student how to download a free book while telling them “not to”. The professor probably just wants to teach and is as tired of the university bullshit as the students.

I really think Khan Academy should publish a textbook that everyone can use. Cheap or free, doesn't change every year, allowed to print out yourself.

Isn't one of the Gates kids doing some educational reform?

I see some profs trying to choose good books, but they don't seem to be able. But I'm also not in higher ed.
