DL Truth: Distance Learning Truth

Once again, somebody focusing on shortcuts to a TESC degree and those goddam FEMA credits!!! DL is about flexibility and freedom to pursue an education in a non-traditional manner. In cases where a student has extensive non-academic, college-level experience there are avenues to validate some of that knowledge in the form of college credits. What it is not about is scamming the higher educational system to receive a degree for which you did little or no work and didn't actually learn anything new.

I despise those parasitic MF'ers at DI like pugbelly, Blue Mason and now, Sowak777. If the system ever starts to tighten up and place greater restrictions on previously earned credit, it will be due to the excesses of the asswipes named above and those like them.

They simply aren't university level courses. The Easy Three is a pain in the ass when it comes to nationally accredited credits and they accept that crap.

Agree.  

And who thinks scamming the system is clever?  Klempner, for one, a guy who makes his living off perpetuating this attitude.  The clones you mention are just following the Klempner-approved party line.

Who would brag about scamming the system this way?  Levijerkoff, for one, who is held up as the poster boy for this "cleverness" by people like Gus and Klempner.

Who allows this farce to continue?  The regional accreditation system, a cartel designed to protect government and wealthy private higher education interests.  When a private non-member operation does this exact thing it's called "conspiracy to commit mail fraud" and they get a 3-year all expense paid vacation courtesy of the US taxpayer.
