Or you can look at it from a positive point of view.

Don't connect the word "popular" with being spineless. A prof can still challenge and teach what he is suppose to.

Take Prof Childs for example. His Cores is always packed with people sitting in even if they are from a different section.

Why is he so popular?

His method and examples are clearer. Everyone can agree that as a result, they learn better when being taught by him.

One way to prevent abuse is to make sure all the exams are prepared by those that do not personally teach the course. That way the marks aren't tainted (so to speak) and the prof will have to work even harder to prepare the students for it.

To be honest, I don't think the culture has matured enough yet to accept females earning more than males in a household. Sad, but true.

And I was just joking about Ken Sills being embarrassed. He has pointed out that his wife is the associate dean multiple times, and jokes about how she's the boss.

But I chuckled when I saw that his wife makes more than him. I wonder if the other physics profs look at this and make fun of him

He is retired, no?

106k isn't really anything to scoff at.

Child's rocks, I'm glad he makes at least that much.

I hope not, he was a great prof.

But you may be right, his band site says they have upcoming shows, and his course content site doesn't look like it was updated since I took the course last year.

She pays the rent while I watch TV

EDIT: However only after earning an education and skills would I have decided this was best for the family because a spouse should always have a way out. I would contribute to the household by running errands and chores while taking care of our children and/or pets as well as watch tv in my spare time when I'm not super busy coaching Angela's hockey team in the winter time
