(this was "the help", not a student). A lot of non-book learning once on campus. A shame a lot of people seemed to miss out on these "electives" during their time in higher education.</p> <p>Ran across some business exec's blog the other day, seems the final exam for a business class contained only the question, "What's the name of the women who cleans the halls at the building entrance?" or something to that effect. Quite a few failed the test &amp; had to retake. (I made sure to find out the names of the new hires - ok, not so new - at reception the next day).</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 30 Jul 2019 07:19:00 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 270080 at http://dagblog.com http://dagblog.com/comment/270064#comment-270064 <a id="comment-270064"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/good-old-days-immigration-history-lesson-28738">&quot;The good old days&quot;: Mexican immigration history lesson</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>More; mind boggling:</p> <p> </p><div class="media_embed"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" height="" width=""> <p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en">24/In fact, the economic character of the debate over Mexican immigration led to some very bizarre political coalitions.<br /><br /> Here's a quote from CESAR CHAVEZ that made me blink in amazement: <a href="https://t.co/mwFhLTi1qc">pic.twitter.com/mwFhLTi1qc</a></p> — Noah Smith (@Noahpinion) <a href="https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1082052898710671360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 6, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" height="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" width=""></script></div> </div></div></div> Mon, 29 Jul 2019 05:02:01 +0000 artappraiser comment 270064 at http://dagblog.com
