  &gt; “You should have failed this class. I’m going to make accommodations so that no student can pass next semester the same way you did.”<p>&gt; This is what my Ancient History II professor told me when my group and I got our final group project essay handed out.<p>What a terrible, hack of a teacher. If you&#x27;ve ever said something like that to a student, quit your job. Those people are the reason academia is such a miserable experience for so many.

    Yep. The main reason I didn&#x27;t further pursue History academia was that it was too much of a monoculture with a bit of nepotism sparkled all over it. Not to discard everyone there of course; there were some awesome courses and faculty. But there&#x27;s no way I was going to dedicate my life to such environment with so little in return for it.
