"Academia is a collective term for the scientific and cultural community engaged in higher education and peer-reviewed research, taken as a whole." -wikipedia
To put it frankly, academians (those who are in the field of academia) have the ability, and often do take anything which a regular person can describe in a few simple steps, and turn it into a 20 page guidebook comprised entirely of unnecissary information, not to mention they will have 20 different terms for the same thing without having any indication that those 20 things are just the same thing, and thus it will take you days to decode it back into those few simple steps.

"On Intellectual Craftsmanship
Before you are through with any piece of work,
no matter how indirectly on occasion, orient it
to the central and continuing task of
understanding the structure and the drift, the
shaping and the meanings, of your own period,
the terrible and magnificent world of human
society in the second half of the twentieth
century" - Typical Statement by a professor in Academia.

Get the westlake academy mug.A school where Turks vastly outnumber staff and students by 10 to 1. Where could a place possibly exist you may ask?
Such place exists where they incorporate turkish as a foreign language and where they attempt to sell e coli infested food. So somewhere in hell.
All jokes aside
This school is a charter school residing in jacksonville florida on beach blvd. Right across from the Winn Dixie. The school does not have enough parking lots so sometimes people have to park across the street. Then they have to cross a busy intersection in order to get to class, potentially getting hit in the process. All of the school windows are 3/8ths tinted nothing more nothing less. Hard to understand teachers though. The school was originally a law firm building until the built it into a school. The best part about this school is their quesos and nothing more. Also teachers shouldn't be allowed to have 20 class pets trapped in little cages in a room. The odor that is emitting from that room is not only hazardous but no living creature should have to endure the pain of having to smell such a thing everyday when wondering around the back end of the hallways. I can almost swear to you that the cages for the pets have not been changed since the day they were brought there.
