LetterS to the Editor

Dear Daily Titan, I just read the column by Jeremiah Rivera and could not agree more. I am a Christian yet am dismayed how so many churches are encouraging intolerance and oppression in the gay rights issue. I think these churches should not be promoting inequality in their congregations but instead spreading God’s words of love. Gays should have the right to marry just like everyone else. Also, I think that the church has no place in the political arena and it is wrong when church leaders preach that their members should vote a certain way. They should lose their tax exempt status for such behavior.

Cynthia Fearn

Dear Editor, I’m writing in response to the editorial “Students expect high grades for little work” published February 26. There are certain issues I’d like to take with your views. Mostly, I’d like to discuss the main lesson that I think is more important for every college student learn: responsibility. Since the beginning of our collegiate career we are advised (much to the dismay of most of our parents, and happiness of others) that the The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), guarantees us the privacy of our student records (and essentially every aspect of our collegiate careers). This means that when we enter college, it becomes the responsibility of the student as opposed to the parent for our education ... As a student myself, I think if a student chooses not to attend every class session – for what- ever just or mundane reason – it is they who are short changing themselves out of an education. Mandatory class attendance is just a pathetic attempt for professors to try to eschew some type of power over their students (mostly those who are insecure about their teaching abilities). You’ll find that the tougher a professor tries to enforce their “rules” the lower the overall quality of the course becomes (since the professor is more concerned over who to pun- ish for not following his/her rules) ... I’m sorry, but we’re not in high school anymore. Moreover, I’d rather not have professors who do insist on perfect attendance, because as most of us have experienced, some students may be physically present, but their minds will be somewhere completely different. Now, is that better than to have a class of people who want to be there, and be active learners? I’d rather have a room full of classmates that I can likewise learn from, than the empty shells taking up space ... Lastly, you quoted Ms. Naomi Rockler-Gladen as stating, “One of the most important les- sons that students need to learn in college is self-discipline, and by requiring students to come to class, students are given strong incentives to become disciplined (or at least disciplined enough to come to class),” but don’t you think that the discipline we’ve receive throughout our K-12 experience has been sufficient to grant us the privilege of going to college in the first place; otherwise, how could we have gotten this far without it? Mandatory attendance is a noble idea to believe in, but not realistic. Like you said, in an age of “hectic and busy lifestyles,” I think it is those who want to be in charge of their own futures who might eventually succeed. Leave those who’d rather not, deal with the conse- quences of their choices.
