It’s also possible to just write a bad question/exam and recognize you need to do better as a professor.

I had a physics professor who graded himself on whether or not he wrote/taught well by the grade distribution. He was always transparent about it and had benchmarks of how it went previous years. He was also one of the most sought after professors.

I also had s philosophy class where the best grade over the entire semester was a 30 and the professor was like yeah this is just expected. You get an A. This guy obviously derived enjoyment from not being a good teacher and for humiliating his students that they really knew nothing about philosophy. That guy sucked.

The article left out that they weren’t asking for cats and dogs but things like rabbits. If the rabbits procreate and can’t be given a home, what alternative is there? Euthanize them and bury them? Cremate them?
