What is the real reason for traditional lectures? Why are many students deciding not to attend?

This model of learning where professors share wisdom on any given topic and disseminate it dates back to the beginning of education when it was a way of sharing information. There are still faculty presenting their lecture as a reader because in the old days a teacher would literally read from a book so students could copy it all down. This outdated lecture model worked wonderfully for centuries.

Desperate times often call for desperate measures and in a brutal political climate, some may be tempted to falsify their realities, actions, or lack thereof.

When those who get caught lying have to be replaced the person, or persons who crashed and burned ruin for everyone else who relied on them. How many time should liars be forgiven?

When bad decisions continue and a lie intensifies, its time to wake up, people. Here's what no one is telling US about the next mid-term election: We could actually swing it.
