Replying to LO9148 --

As an adjunct faculty at a local univ. I feel I can comment on Joe's
points about igniting the passion in students. My experience is that the
majority of students care more about the diploma than learning and doing
the work it takes to learn. I feel they see the diploma as a means to
another goal, which doesn't have anything to do with learning. I too
believe that my role is to ignite fires rather than fill vessels; the sad
part is so many don't seem that interested in igniting.
