Unfortunately many courses now give assignments through sites that are only accessible by purchasing a textbook with a unique access code
So in every other country if they tried something like that, students would kick up shit, government would step in and sort it
So it's either, too pussy to stand up for yourselves, or you're living in a dictatorship
Which is it? ๐
Selfishness and greed. Anyone that stands up stands alone, and the others are quick to lick a boot as they grovel for scraps. For some inconceivable reason too many consider this preferable to standing together and working to make things better.
It's not selfishness and greed so often as it is fear and ignorance. Education remedies the ignorance and steels people against the fear that keeps them from working together against a seemingly more powerful force.
