Title

"im tired of these professors"

Description

Posted on April 15, 2020, this Reddit thread featured a post by an "essential worker" at the City University of New York (CUNY) student who felt their professors were ignorant to the stresses and responsibilities of over-extended students employed in labor-intensive jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This item is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) Distance Learning Archive, a group project developed as part of Prof. Matthew K. Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.

Transcription

I’m tired of these professors saying "oh all of you guys are home so it’s no big deal I pile this on, and we have 3 test in the next 3 weeks. You guys are home, you got this." When in reality, I still have a job. Not sure if this may apply to every single person, but I’m sure there’s a handful of people with jobs still. I’m a grocery store cashier, under immense stress at work. And these professors just think we’re all home.. so why not pile the work on right?
