Oh boy where do we even start with this? ;P
A student in a class who received a letter saying cease or desist and continues to act out deserves what she has coming to her. It’s one thing to move up the administration to try to get recourse, but to attempt to routinely disrupt classwork to the detriment of other students simply shows a lack of decorum.
I don’t see how getting a C- in a course prevents her from becoming a licensed therapist, either. Simply retake the course... I don’t think any reasonable person could assume a C- would completely tank a career path, especially something as generally non-competitive as being a licensed therapist. One would also have to question whether Ms. Thode had the mental stability to become a licensed therapist given her obvious inability to civally engage with those who had views differing from her own. That whole countertransference issue might just well do her in...
Is her economic loss really 1.3-million? Well, I guess that would depend on how much the expected career benefits of being a licensed therapist might be minus the unemployement benefits she will receive with that degree in “human development.” ;)
Heh. Couldn’t help but snicker at that last part.
All the the little city of Bethlehem... *sigh*
If her professer is a left wing, America hating bonehead like she’s likely to be than he should be proud of her and applaud her efforts! Frivolous law suits are one of the crowning glories of success for liberals.
The mean teacher gave you a C- ? Well, take your pills and grab BooBoo Bear and your snuggle blanket and Mommy will make you a cup of hot cocoa.
Most of these so called “advocates” have very low self-esteem, but this results in them being obsessed with themselves and compensating with a great deal of vanity. Thus, outbursts, unprofessional behavior, feelings of entitlement
Damn Millennials.
Brought up as if their waste doesn’t stink, that every utterance is pure genius, and that no one is allowed to be critical of them(The whole “No H8te” thing).
And on top of that, she already pegged 1.3 million dollars in earnings! Because, you know, she is a superstar!
The only Professor who I could rightfully blame for not getting an A would be this damn Russian, who expected everyone in a Chem 2 class to already know calculus. His examples were all written in strange mathematical equations which I showed to someone about to get their degree in Chemistry, and his response was “What IS this alien language!?” His examples and explanations only made me more confused.
I ended up teaching myself Chemistry that semester, and the A I did receive was the most difficult one I ever got. I went to tutors every week, spent hour upon hour studying every week. More than half the class failed. Everyone called him Hitler, or Stalin, since we weren’t quite sure what his nationality was.
I wish I could sue [and expect any return] for every time I screwed up resulting in a costly consequence.
It would almost be like living without consequences for my behavior.
If she would sue over a SINGLE GRADE, she is OBVIOUSLY too unstable to be sharing secrets with your kids - so this is for the best.
(in case you didn’t know, a good percentage of young ‘therapists’ get to ‘learn the trade’ in the public schools...not that it matters to people that prefer the boat or the land yacht)
Grade retaliation does happen.
Junior year of high school I took Ancient and Medieval World History. Teacher frankly didn’t know much about the subject, but he was a “modern” teacher (this was early 70s) so every class was a discussion, not a lecture.
1st quarter, A+, not particularly surprising since I knew a great deal more history than he did and scored 100 on every test.
Second quarter he got into world religions. Long discussions about the wonders and glories of Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, etc. Then we got to Christianity.
And suddenly the entire discussion became about how the Bible contradicts itself and is immoral and violent, etc. None of these criticisms at all had been applied to the other religions.
So, basically I and to a lesser extent a girl in class, proceeded to politely disassemble every one of his arguments for a week. Not hard, since he really knew nothing about the Bible or Christianity.
Next Monday class format shifted to lecture. 2nd quarter grade, with 100s still on every test, C-.
I have ever since regretted that I didn’t challenge the grade, perhaps by challenging him to a public history knowledge competition.
At Liberal Mindset Rule #1:
"It's always someone else's fault."
He questioned whether he even had the equitable power to order the university to award the B grade plaintiff Megan Thode needed to continue in the program, Northampton County Judge Emil Giordano said during trial Wednesday that he is "unconvinced that the judiciary should be injecting itself in the academic process," the Allentown Morning Call reported.
What’s the statute of limitations?
I got my first C- is second grade. It cause emotional distress cause I’d only gotten A’s and B’s before. I demand compensation.
I’ve had a lot of different jobs in my life, in several different fields. Not once, ever, ever did anyone in a job interview ask me what my grades were.
Maybe human resources requested transcripts.
