i have not penalized a single student for late work and if you have you should not be an educator. yes, this is my hill.

like most adjuncts, i had +100 students this semester. there was no way i was thoughtfully reading and grading responses every 3 weeks in a timely fashion any damn way. taking out my frustration with how little grace and coin i'm paid on my students is punk shit, pandemic or not

don't use "the real world" as an excuse to be cruel. isn't that the same "real world" that pays you 3k per class, doesn't compensate you for office hours, and doesn't provide you benefits? grace is the only currency you have sweetie why not be a socialist w that shit?
