    Unfortunately many courses now give assignments through sites that are only accessible by purchasing a textbook with a unique access code

      So in every other country if they tried something like that, students would kick up shit, government would step in and sort it

      So it’s either, too pussy to stand up for yourselves, or you’re living in a dictatorship

      Which is it? 😂

        Selfishness and greed. Anyone that stands up stands alone, and the others are quick to lick a boot as they grovel for scraps. For some inconceivable reason too many consider this preferable to standing together and working to make things better.

          It’s not selfishness and greed so often as it is fear and ignorance. Education remedies the ignorance and steels people against the fear that keeps them from working together against a seemingly more powerful force.

      A professor at my university tried that, but the students quite quickly made a huge fuss, got the principals office involved, and the universities lawyers informed said professor that what she was doing was illegal, and that she should stop before she got any more trouble. She stopped.
