'The classes at ITT Greentree were laughable. I learned more just tinkering on my own. They were so easy to pass and you could tell the instructors were used to underachievers.'

I was at Moon. I worked there as a lab assistant and became friends with the instructors. I approached a few about this, and was told in confidence they are not allowed to fail students without approval from the director. Really, the only grounds for not passing were never (literally) showing up for class. If a student came just once they had to find a way to pass them. Usually this meant I had to tutor them.
