Good news: Ada Lovelace
Inevitable bad news: Lord Byron

If my other replies were unclear, I want to stress that I never called for and do not want people to take away any accommodations. I described how I want accommodations to be better funded, better staffed, and better supported than they are, which also accommodates educators and staff as a result.

Not the AI image lmao

I specifically called out lacking support, staffing, and funding…

Did I say that anywhere at all?

As someone with ADHD who also teaches on ADHD in my college courses, exercise is not a recommended treatment option. Your friends likely found success through behavior modification techniques elsewhere in their life, which are a recommended treatment option for ADHD. Be wary of the post hoc fallacy.

Many who work at the testing center here are disabled and want to give back & support their community, but admin won’t give them more funding for more people, so they all end up overwhelmed…

Asking the prof with unaccommodated ADHD to keep track of & apply 65+ people’s unique circumstances & accommodations without support is not an ideal scenario to say the least. I only have to do half of the exam accommodation work, & the testing center folks who do the rest always sound burnt out… 😞

Yeah, it’s great that the uni wants to accommodate the 15+ people who were hospitalized this semester across my courses, but who is going to do all the extra rescheduling, manual assignment edits, & accessible content delivery? Oh, me on top of doing that for the 50+ others with accommodations? Ok…

Which is an advantage but more of a general healthcare access advantage.

However, as I have said many times to colleagues, you can’t course-design your way out of systemic issues. It may help, but it doesn’t solve the inherent issues that will continue unabated.

I think part of it is trying to figure out what procedures failed to allow this to happen and how to prevent TA targeting because they want to prevent this from happening to anyone in the future (that’s how I’ve participated in that), but fully missing the transphobia aspect is a hell of a thing…

Having the systems in place that you suggest would be fantastic, especially as singular opinionated students have given way to planned/coordinated backlash…

I’ve never had a TA who primarily grades ever write feedback comments or respond to emails to protect their time and protect them from stuff like this. They shouldn’t be the “first line of defense” in a case like this.

I keep trying to be careful with my word choice on here, but…

I’m never said it’s the sole cause. It simply acts as a delivery agent of the social learning and other processes involved. I specifically mentioned the *patterns we now see* (aka the increased rates of eating disorders, *NOT* eating disorders in general) as a result of media’s exacerbating effect.

Yes, and media is one of the most well-known and well-studied delivery methods of that social pressure. Anyway though, I was responding to Shey’s post, not your post.
