Some teachers should be fired in that process too, no? I like how strictly students are slammed in this rhetoric. Fascinating.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Spend time provoking students into thinking. Spend time checking out if the idea stuck. Discuss.

Adding another course? Cookie-cutter solutions brought us here, more of it won't change much.

Dear God, please no. With that approach, we could easily go to retirement after finishing education. Far saner approach is to invest more of existing time teaching relevant matters.

Nah. That's a great way to reduce the number of passing students whilst nothing is changed in the way teachers conduct lectures.
