It's good though that they see a problem and are trying to change it. Anderson doesn't like the rhetoric the programs use. Or I could imagine when she came to the University as a freshman and was told that she had to buy books for her classes. I suppose the implicit assumption there was that she isn't capable of learning on her own, that she needs a teacher and a textbook to hold her hand through it all. There is no implicit assumption here.
Any sensible person can see that.
But don't sit there pondering the meaning behind a 2-ounce chunk of plastic. Well, said my friend, I think Anderson would disagree. Ms. Anderson, if you're reading this now I'd like to offer you some advice. Do not go out late at night, alone, drunk and scantily dressed. There are some nut jobs out there.
