I am not here to get into an argument with you
We both have our views. One part of a semester is all I am saying. Yes I said what I said but most of it is tongue in cheek response. If the way they are teaching remains in the summer or fall classes then yes I would agree. But for part of a semester things don’t go as planned why is it the schools fault per se. My son’s engineering finals were online, take home and one question took 6 hours to finish. Learning was continuing to occur on campuses. Again, it might of took a different form then what we are used to at a moments notice.
Again, I assume learning was happening. Professors responded to email or Zoom
My son said some of his tests didn’t translate well to being online, no question about it.
My daughter just graduated from a small Lac. She wasn’t thrilled how the last part of the semester went either. She didn’t feel like she learned to the same degree. She just worked hard on her senior thesis. I asked her if she felt she should get a discount since it didn’t live up to her schools standards (same for my son), they both said they will take any discount but not really. They realize it is what it it is and moved on. Let’s say Harvard did give a discount. Then how much? No one would ever be satisfied.
What they can do is use their resources and skill sets to come up with some enhanced learning hybrid version of educational learning in the fall.
I just don’t see how giving a discount makes anyone feel better or improves what they situation is. I have 2 OOS kids in college (well… One just graduated), so trust me I won’t refuse a discount. I just won’t expect one.
