Bible Note: Greetings DarcyA! You wrote: "Another problem with colleges is if you know some belief is a little off on their part And then the exam or test comes up do you lie on the paper and tell them what they want to hear or do you mention the truth and fail?" I can honestly say that this was not the case at the college I attended. I took quite a few philosophy courses from a very well know Christian philosopher, with whom I strongly disagreed on many issues - publically. Yet, he never once gave me a bad grade as long as I defended my position. My other classes were much the same way. Yes, there were some classes where there was certain material that simply needed to be memorized. But, in all of my classes, the primary goal was to teach people how to think for themselves. In fact, most of our tests were essay tests for that very reason. I can't speak for other schools, but never once did I have to compromise my beliefs for a grade. :-) p.s. - In my experience, those without higher education are just as unteachable as those with it! ;-) Just read through this forum for examples. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
