I'm doing the thing I always do where I point out how people have jumped to conclusions based on incomplete information and personal feelings.#betterphan’d

Calling it lazy is so hilarious. Pre-recording lectures is more difficult and consumes at least triple the time.
This is exactly right. Since the pandemic started I have done a ton of virtual lectures, both live and pre-recorded. Pre-recorded takes 3 times the amount of work - you spend an hour recording the lecture, an hour listening to it to make sure it worked, and then the hour it is presented listening to it and answering questions. If given the option, I much prefer to give a live virtual lecture.

Not to mention having to rerecord it when you listen to and find that you screwed up the explanation of some random figure 32 minutes into your hour long recording.
Interesting. I think the problem is not that wake can't figure it out but that you are under the impression that elementary schools *have* figured it out. I don't think they have, based on everything I read from elementary school teacher friends.
Also, you've got the additional problem of college kids being adults who can, and will, do what they want.
The better comparison, I think, would be to another University that has figured it out. Any success stories to speak of?
According to the CDC, In person learning has not been linked to community transmission. As much as elementary school teachers and their unions would like you to believe, sending kids back to school isn’t a bad idea.
Cases haven't been linked to college classrooms or airplane travel either, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Also, comparing the success of elementary and college teaching during covid doesn't make any sense. Their circumstances are entirely different.
It helps that the classrooms aren’t as crowded as they usually are.
And get out with that evil teachers unions nonsense.
Just dropping in to say that I have three fully in person classes (go twice a week), one class where I go once a week, and one class that's fully online/synchronous. Purposefully signed up for mostly in-person classes because Zoom lectures suck.
Everything else sucks (dining is takeout only, gym not open, library not open, 10pm curfew) but in my experience the educational aspect has been fine.
Funny how your posts never respond to any of the substantive criticisms of your arguments.Not a good idea because you say so? Apparently Wake can do no wrong in your eyes, so I don’t know why it’s worth having any discussion with you about why $75k a year for zoom classes is highway robbery.
The DC teachers union called a vote on an illegal strike after their lawsuit got laughed out of court.
It seems the professors should do live Zoom classes. I asked my daughter at UNC what her situation is, and only one class has recorded lectures.

“Illegal strike”
One of those terms that’s thrown around that reminds us that we live in an oligarchy, not a democracy.
How can a strike ever be illegal, if we live in a democratic republic?
