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 se makes more money she will have to pay them.
