A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
Rules
-
Be excellent to each other
-
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
-
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
-
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
-
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.

If you can do all the assignments and compete the tests without showing up, there would be no problem.
However educational professionals have found out that the chance of you completing the tasks set for you is directly correlated to your showing up and praying attention.
Anything else both drops their own performance ratio, but, more importantly, is quite disrespectful of their profession.
Therefore you show up in time and compete your tasks before the deadline. Also disruptive behaviour in class is frowned upon as you negatively impact the ability of others to perform well.
So if you enroll in education, you follow the rules. If you didn't, you kind of have a point.
But if you think yourself a special care of genius that doesn't need to study and show up for class, please stay clear of education.
I do think showing up and paying attention is the right approach, it's what I prefer to do too!
But as you mentioned, "the chance of you completing the tasks set for you" ... aka tasks and tests that are used to measure performance. That should be used, not some correlative excuse for educators not to do their jobs
Agreed with your last statement. Respect is a reciprocal affair
Most teachers are very respectable. But grading for petty reasons? that's not respectful. Especially if it's for a paid service that you're getting paid, and are able to do regardless of all students being present
That's what reciprocal means tbh
Someone has more to their personal life, some teachers reciprocate by being a petty Karen. I don't think that's the right approach
Yeah, nobody is ever able to complete university level study without sitting in lecture halls listening to egotistical professors ramble on, that's not possible...

Not saying it's not possible. Just that the system is like that for a reason. And it's really silly if you sign into a specific curriculum and not plan to adhere to it's rules.
It's like buying an expensive tool and throw out the manual, use it in a way it's not designed to and then complain about it.
You can just not enroll, or enroll in a open uni, like you posted. But don't enroll, go against the rules and then complain.
