Hrm. Both Epic & Myth and Comedy & Satire are 40-minute long courses, not 45 minutes to an hour.
Also, there’s again the issue of not being guaranteed the courses the students want, only the courses they need. Even if the program sheet had Epic & Myth on it, it’s the school’s prerogative to shuffle kids around to balance classes. It has been done for years. :\
I understand how frustrating it is to sit through a class you didn’t pick or didn’t want, but many Lowell students have to do that at one point or another, and it’s good to prepare you for college, anyway, since there will undoubtedly be requirements that you don’t want to take.
I wish these videos weren’t all cut short to only show one side of things, though. It’d be interesting to be able to hear/see both and figure out what each group involved is thinking. It’s rather hard to do that without the other side.
It’s ridiculous! Why are adults acting irrationally – without objectivity – and mistreating the poor student? I’m not impressed with how this matter was handled.
