In the U.S., it tends to mean a school geared toward science and engineering -- e.g., Virginia Tech is actually Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Be that as it may, Levy's ire seems to be directed at an <i>online</i> study group, which I assume engaged in activities much like those of face-to-face study groups: working problems, arguing interpretations, talking about the teachers, grousing about the pizza. Will Levy's Legions issue baby monitors so they can check on what happens in the F2F groups? Sweet mother of pearl. Harold, is there a special meaning to “polytechnic” that I might not be getting?
