Message Subject China May Be Ripping off the US in Acupuncture "Colleges"
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I recently attended an American acupuncture "college" and this occurred to me while I was there.

I have never had any trouble in an educational experience like I did at this school. And I have two academic degrees from a respected American university as well as time spent in college and university settings in Denmark and England.

It was just weird.

I started out so enthusiastic, but had to withdraw by the middle of the first semester because the "class" presentations were just so weird.

It was like some weird kind of psy-ops.

The professors would pretend in some cases to be worse at English than they really were just to confuse the students.

One of the worst English speakers had an acupuncture business in the town and his English on his cell phone when he thought I was a prospective customer was so much better than it was in his classes.

It was like the Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree (M.A.) was just a ruse to confuse as many Americans as possible, while bilking the U.S. government and citizens who are paying for the "education" through federal student loans.

I also noticed that the professors would contradict what was written in the books.

Just wanted to put this up on the board and see what people thought.

That teacher is probably not confident enough about the material he is teaching. So he's acting like he don't know English to avoid student questioning.

There are many "styles" in acupuncture. And different styles have different sets of points used and understanding of what they cure. So there are a lot of contradictions. It's normal (in TCM). They set up standards in textbooks but in reality there are never "golden" standards. All roads lead to Rome, if you understand what I mean.
