FROM THE ARTICLE
I find this odd:
In fact, Stinchfield said his professor allowed the students to argue for better grades at one point in the semester to get a "courtroom experience."
"He brought in Bryan, and he was like, 'alright, go at him,'" Stinchfield said. "And he had Bryan stand up. And a few people were on his side because they wanted to keep their high grades... but for the most part, it was like half of a 150-person class just asking these real critical questions."
"It wasn't like yelling or anything, but it was certainly conflict," Stinchfield added.
As a TA, he is learning how to teach from his professors. I question whether bullying behavior, as I would define this, is necessary or useful.
150 students given the opportunity to complain about grading in this way seems very odd to me.
No wonder he declined to put much effort into grading after this experience.
While I think LE has their perp, I think we have to remember context in any discussion of his appearance or behavior in a classroom setting.
