I have a private student from the Arab world doing an MBA at a British university who requires extensive help for his seminars. At present, he seems to lack the ability to do an MBA dissertation but unfortunately he will probably obtain one by purchasing it from a willing academic who has no ethics or judgement. Will this Arab guy, a nice enough sort, one day be lecturing at a university near you?

At my present college, the teaching is dumbed down to reach the students' intelligence levels. Each learning outcome is laid out in a process that allows the students to grasp what is being said but not the ideas behind each learning outcome. This week one student accused me of not providing answers. Not the first time they have tried to tell me how to teach. Dumb I'm afraid and dumber.
