I am so over this virus BS. My son’s university wants full tuition, but are having partial online classes to “keep the community safe” for a virus that many are asymptomatic, have only mild symptoms and recover from. Paying full tuition and not receiving the full experience is ridiculous. We are between a rock and a hard place-send him back so he can graduate on time or gap year him in the middle of his schooling? I am livid about this virus crap. They could open everything up tomorrow, use HCQ cocktail and move forward.
Most of the teacher's unions, school districts, and collages have been taken over by shitlibs who are on board and don't give a shit about the 'rona - they're just using it as the excuse to hold people like yourself hostage. I wouldn't want to be in your position 'pede. On one hand I'd say fuck em and let your son have a year off, but that has its own drawbacks.
All the Hippies and Weathermen crawled into academia after the 60’s to continue the revolution by indoctrination of several generations of young minds full of mush that they turned into Marxist foot soldiers
That started in 1921. There was an infrastructure in place in the administration for the "hippies and weatherman" to be able to crawl in. It didn't start with teachers.
College kids are really stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. Pay thousands of dollars for online crap or sit out a year...
Now before I get the "learn a trade or college is a waste," everyone needs to remember that some degrees do have value and you need college to work in those professions. This isn't a gender studies degree I am talking about.
It is so unethical that colleges are pretending online is worth the same tuition and are not lowering tuition costs. Imagine paying for a ticket to Disney World and then they "Surprise! We are closed for Covid. But here is a link to a video of Space Mountain! Enjoy! It is just the same really! The video of Space Mountain is worth the same price as actually coming to Disney World in person!" If that happened to anyone in charge at a college on a vacation to Disney World they would be livid, yet they are pulling this crap on students and have no problem with it. Very disgusting.
That's an apt analogy. Write up something based on that, see if you can get it signed as a petition, and it should be sent to administrations all over the Country!
Eh, I think it depends on a student’s learning style. I went to college completely online, way before it was cool. Mostly because I already had taught myself a bunch of skills and just wanted the piece of paper to prove it. Ironically my very liberal siblings gave me shit for not going to a “real school” like them. Two of them now have kids finishing their senior year of high school online now. Joke’s on them I guess.
That said, online school takes discipline and it’s not for everyone. I particularly hated all of the mandatory “discussion” posts they made us do that replaced by just showing up to class in an on-campus course.
Could've used HCQ cocktail (Trump pills) since 3/16 and responsibly opened most things up by 4/1 or 4/15 at the latest. Some big cities arguably should have stayed locked down longer, but then we'd all be fine.

It is unfortunate that to do the right thing a university would need a petition or a lawsuit.
