Most places use inspections as a way to upcharge you for unnecessary services. Avoid places like dealerships or chains like VIP Tires. I went there and got failed for a BS reason. Went to a small gas station inspection place, passed in 10 minutes.

Funny, I didn’t do poorly. I graduated at the top of the class. I appreciate you making the assumption.

I also said you are writing an opinion, BACKED WITH FACTS. In these classes you aren’t just writing facts. Anyone can regurgitate facts on a page. It’s an opinion piece typically backed with facts.

Read the entire comment before you make yourself look bad next time.

This isn’t very true. In a Political Science class, for instance, you’re not writing about your understanding as much as your opinion on a subject. A history class may ask you to write an opinion on the use of the atomic bomb in WWII. That’s an opinion piece you back with facts (to show you understand the material). But if you disagree with the professors view on the topic, good luck!

It’s why college is largely a waste in my opinion. Get real world experience, even in fields like engineering or teaching or business, and get the professors out of it. They are there to push a narrative at many schools, and have a holier than thou attitude.

Honestly, colleges haven’t been a place for open discussion for years now. I went to a Massachusetts state school, and it was a one sided education.

I had to write papers a certain way to make sure I got the grade. Other opinions were graded lower.

Now I’m no MAGA Republican, not even close, but I can recognize that what colleges are doing right now is creating an even further divide in the country by only teaching one side of things.

There are issues which are right and wrong, 100%. But you have to at least be willing to hear someone else’s opinion, and colleges don’t allow for that anymore.
