What a hero. In my opinion academics often take their role quite a bit too seriously. They are not aware that their role outside of the actually practice related subjects is mostly to be a brain teaser.

It's heroic to give someone a passing grade in a college level class when they can't keep up with a college level workload?

I think that its just fraud.

A hero for realizing being just another minor data point for most of his students lifes.
It is sacrificing his academic creditably for the good of his student's gpa.
In a perfect world, neither group would care about either of those things.
I can see how GPA imperfectly measures a student's knowledge/intelligence. However credibility and honesty should be valued in a perfect world.
It's not a perfect world.
