From the first article: “But her dedication had a downside: ‘My hair was almost falling out, because I was working so hard.'”
Poor girl, she’s so sensitive that she could tell that her hair was almost falling out.
The second article is a bit less clear. It’s very possible that the 84 year old professor is an old codger who has lost his fastball, and that the kids he’s teaching expect to be coddled. We have been on a long decline when it comes to academic standards and expectations for classwork. I taught a class a few years ago at a local college and, after the final exam, got a nasty note from an “honors” student who was angry that her performance on the final might put her “honors diploma” at risk. Kids are pretty entitled and empowered these days. It isn’t like it used to be.
