@NatalyaD college was a challenge…obsessed way too much on what I was wearing, my routine to class and how to navigate the halls and where to sit, and what people to avoid or try to connect with…well before social media… I cannot imagine the stress these students are contending…and actually learning and doing assignments would be very low priority on the list.

If there was a way for them to dip their toes into the class material, small homework groups, or something that did not feel like a huge production or lots of up front friction or effort just to absorb something that’s not running at their pace….the idea an ass has to be in a certain chair or room to learn is ludicrous.

I had to take an accounting class 3 times …first two times they covered the material as a class with a transparency or fuzzy projector I could not absorb or keep up with… third time I killed the class b/c the textbook that year came with a floppy disk with a self paced practice program I could run at home.
