What I hate at my school is when they think that because they're professors that means they can talk down to the lower-class students. That just because we haven't gotten through fourth year, graduated, and begun climbing the academic medical ranks we're somehow deserving of being talked to like we're in junior high. It says a lot about how teachers respect the lower ranks--and how secure they are themselves, I think--when they're able to treat students without condescending to them no matter what level they're on. I hate the heirarchy of academia. My school is three weeks away from starting, and I'm already dreading one of the most notorious second-year professors. I saw him talking to students last year, and it wasn't pretty.
