Iâm just gonna say itâŚ
Professors should not be allowed to ban laptops in class. Professors should not be allowed to ban recorders in class. Professors should not be able to ban students from taking pictures of the whiteboard at the end of lectures. Professors should not be allowed to ban ANYTHING that will make the class more accessible for ALL students. I donât care what the excuse is.
âThey might not even be taking notes on their laptop, theyâre probably playing games!â So thatâs on the student and theyâll have to live with those grades. Theyâre paying thousands of dollars to be there, if they want to fuck off and waste their money thatâs on them.
âIâm uncomfortable with my lectures being recorded!â What EXACTLY are you saying in your lectures that makes you worried about being recorded, hmm?
âI just donât like the idea of being on camera/recorded at work. How would YOU feel being recorded at work?â Buddy, I work in retail. Iâm always being watched. Suck it the fuck up.
And before anyone says âbut you can just bypass this by getting permission from accessibility services!â 1. Not all students with disabilities have up-to-date diagnosis to qualify, 2. Not all students with disabilities have had it confirmed by a professional yet and wonât be able to access those services, 3. Not all students who need these accommodations even have a disability! Some people just learn differently and lecture-style learning actually doesnât work for a lot of people! and 4. This often puts a student on the spot to all their classmates and can make them feel very uncomfortable.Â
Students should not have to jump through hoops to get an education that theyâre paying for. Thatâs not accessibility.Â
