Matt:
-> It will depend on what college you teach at.
-> My father's 25+ year college teaching career involved both flagship
-> state universities and small private colleges of dubious academic
-> quality. He never had those problems in the flagship state
-> universities, but drunk students were a big problem in both the
-> rinky-dink private schools.
I taught at a flagship state university (Michigan State University)
in the math dept. from 1969-1972.
There were kids that came to class stoned (either drugs,
alcohol, or just staying up all night).
HOWEVER, MSU has over 40,000 students (I think).
Percentage-wise, it was extremely small -- maybe a dozen students at
most in my 3-year tenure there.
