My students, unless there's a teacher in the family, are largely convinced that my job is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy, and while they respect the intelligence and knowledge I'm bringing to the classroom, it's very rare that they see that as evidence of me "caring" about them.<br /><br />It doesn't surprise me, either, that students see it that way now, because I think college students are becoming more infantilized (through only some fault of their own, if any), and so you end up with a group of people who still need a bit of hand-holding and classic "caring" rather than the intellectual and personal independence that professors might expect.<br /><br />I have other thoughts.
