In many ways, going to college can be the definition of not knowing how good you have it. It is highly likely that you will never again experience the same level of free time and outside interest in your personal development ever again. Nonetheless, it doesn't stop pretty much every student in the history of the world from complaining about deadlines, exams, and annoying professors. It isn't always a walk in the park, and sometimes these are valid complaints. 

However, this didn't seem to be the case in one viral video in which a TA in a cybersecurity class lectured her students for not opening an email she had sent them. The reason? It had all the answers to their exam. While some wondered if there were deeper reasons than apathy for these kids not finding the answers, others had some not-so-kind words for what they thought this meant about the higher education system as a whole.

    Reaver @Reaver749735.2d Replying to @NoCapFights I went back to college 25 years later. It's a complete joke how stupid easy it was. You don't even take notes, the professors basically give you the questions and answers, yet kids still fail. Kids in college are so dumb, like they can't even critically think. It's sad. *

    cbjimw8 @cbjimw8.2d Replying to @NoCapFights Kind of wonder why not one student opened the email. Perhaps the TA sends lots and lots of worthless emails? There must be a reason everyone ignored her email.

    Aysha MBS, Stem... ❤ @ModelAysha Mirza Replying to @NoCapFights Follow I literally have had my college students attend a review, where I give them the questions I'm going to choose the exam questions from, and I answer them all in the lecture before I give the exam. We cannot make it easier for you!!! This is why I never rounded up for grades.

    @Falkor -1d Replying to @NoCapFights This is why it's easy to get ahead in this day and age. Most people are just naturally lazy and even when given "the answers” still fail. Not that difficult to out perform this kind of laziness.

    good guy pyramid head @curpycakies Follow This looks like some sort of cybersec course, they are showing stuff about zero days and exploits. Don't we teach people to not open things if they are to good to be true? What if it was all just a phishing test?

    Bella @rauhling_bizzle. 1d ok sorry I'm confused but like did the TA not consider that maybe nobody opened the email bc they assumed it was spam or they got their email hacked? Cus realistically why tf would a TA or professor give out the answers before an exam? I just think this was a dumb thing to do?
