I think your missing the point of this nice little story. A student is asking for (an presumedly got) some slack because of conflicts with the student's outside business activity. The student then writes a note 2 years later validating the professor's decision.

Its not data or a trend, its just a thank you.

I agree that there is thin line dividing the positive or negative sentiment towards schooling here.

In some ways school was incredibly valuable, I met my co-founders at Rutgers and this class specifically helped develop the company.

At the same time the classwork was getting in the way and I needed to push it aside to help get the company off the ground.
