Dropped a proctored online math class over the summer because of this. Chronic pain, chronic mental health conditions, was struggling with identity issues being a bisexual male.
I did not want to be doing something stressful with someone recording me. Was assured everyone has to do it and we always proctor math exams (been taking online courses since covid and never had to deal with this).
Same course, different instructor this semester. Not proctored. Uses worksheets to make sure students are learning the material and not using AI or cheating some other way.
Not sure if the stink I raised over summer is why. I suspect not based on how I was treated. I think he’s just a better teacher that knows how to combine the online courses with traditional techniques more skillfully. The other instructor only used McGraw’s online materials and nothing of her own.
An adult treating adults like adults it sounds like to me. Hope you are doing better now.
Yeah, he’s an excellent professor and his show your work problems have some good humor in them.
Had to calculate the payday loan payment as if it was interest (using real world values). It’s over 300% if you think of it as APR.
Super predatory.
Both teachers and students say filtering originally intended to target adult content is instead being used by some school administrators to block LGBTQ+ and race-related content they deem “inappropriate.” Disciplinary action and punishment for violations aren’t experienced at the same rates for all students. The report found students who identify as LGBTQ+ and those with disabilities in individualized education programs were more likely to get in trouble due to the tools. 19% of students at schools that use filtering technology say they were even aware of students who were “outed” for LGBTQ+ as a result of the filtering.
this stuff was always anti LGBT from the start and should be banned on that grounds alone, nevermind all the other reasons
Wow this article is actually terrifying.

Kind of dont understand the point of the article. A school gives their students a laptop to do homework. When the student gets this laptop they have to sign a waiver it will be for school work only. School can dictate whatever they want the students to see through surveillance software like GoGuardian to monitor actions. Students do things outside of the waiver and get in trouble.

Schools should just go back to not giving the students laptops and tell them to use the parents’ computer with a 1 time tax break or a periodic voucher.
