Not anymore it isn’t. But it will take Planning the Work, and Working the Plan for the long haul. I have been mulling some things over about this one. There is no silver bullet cure for this cancer. But until people in general really understand and change a core set of wrong assumptions they’ve been fed, threatened about, stroked over, and take responsibility for allowing this to continue – it will move at a snail’s pace. Leaving the PC crowd out of the loop totally and starving them out is probably the deadly fastest. When they’re on their death beds, some might say, “Now, let’s rethink this a bit – there might just be some changes we could make.”

BUT, as Bob illuded to in another post somewhere that we need to be preparing the leaders NOW and have the right steps to take in place, who/that will be ready to handle this “ripe fruit” when it gets ready to drop off the tree. The other side has no problem desiring something they know they are not going to be able to get straight out (or stop something they know they can’t), then creating a CRISIS that they then have to feign to “really search” for a “solution” that relieves people’s anxieties. It just so happened to get them much closer to the desire that no one would have supported before — and the lie that it didn’t solve anything or doesn’t work never quite gets seen.

The marketplace can be the “accreditors” over the short and long haul. The marketplace must have the product of educations to further train and survive. As the non-PC competitors begin to take the toll against the PCs (as its enforcement is done at gunpoint by our government judicial and tax system) – their “accrediting” will become meaningless. Pretty soon now, we will not be able to keep what we have begun with people who are incompetent, ignorant, and uncharactered. The marketplace will be forced to get those things to survive. PC affirmative action (EEOC) is bloating everyone with incompetence and dysfunction. It’s breaking. So where are the ones to fix it going to come from. I have several IDEAS.

If Bob had kept all his records and documentation to demonstrate his accomplishments from his doctoral work at the University of Virginia – and someone really wanted his talent in what he had to make an organization better – he could take it somewhere else and get his certification. The work is done. I hope his thesis readers were followed until they wrote their evaluations!

What do you do when leaving high school and headed for college? You take an exam. Why don’t they just trust the word of your teachers?

The time I spent in the classroom was undoubtedly the least productive educational time of all. The time I spent at a desk with books or in private discussions the most productive.

Can anyone argue – at least in the real sciences – that time spent in the classroom counts more than true knowledge?
