Now they're afraid they'll skew the AQP process by talking to you outside of the briefing room. The only way they can prove the program has flaws is to watch people struggle and fail.
It's a different jungle out there.
Same thing being said right now in the 777 schoolhouse. Shockingly poor. I would never not give someone an assist if they were struggling to understand something. My mouth hit the floor when I was told nearly verbatim what TonyC is saying above. Then, after telling me that the "policy" is a bunch of BS, he explained the answer to what I was asking. Note that he said "policy"? Tell me how we don't have a problem.
