The military can choose to do this, since the cost of losing a qualified body (and the pool of qualified bodies is limited for astronaut training...) is higher than the cost of extending the training time to get the student through the POI.<br /><br />And, in a sense, the student CAN do this themselves, they just retake the course. But given the time constraints - and the pressure of fitting butts in seats - I couldn't justify doing this for a typical college class.<br /><br />But as I mentioned, I do have reservations about how we teach. But that is for another day.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-68214526119863316302010-06-12T05:29:56.398-07:002010-06-12T05:29:56.398-07:00I prefer the enabler way of training
Everyone p...I prefer the enabler way of training <br /><br />Everyone passes, it is just that some take longer than others to meet the standard. If the student no longer wishes to spend the time it would take to meet the standard, then bowing out is under their control, not the teacher's control<br /><br />NASA did something like this for their astronauts. It makes the students and teacher allies, not adversaries.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.com
