MJ's little flock

Not about chickens, just sharing.

I coordinate the teaching of a large first year course. The staff I recruit are brilliant and mostly the students are ok too.

A student asked me for an online meeting. It had to be online and at a specific time because of his commitments. Ok. I agreed and sent a link.

The student had a question that could obviously have been resolved with email. Worse, he was in bed with no visible clothing (thankfully not exposed below the chest).

How revolting. I was absolutely disgusted. I cannot recall a time I have been shown so much disrespect in my workplace.

It also made me think about the risks associated with holding online meetings with students.

Maybe he’s trying to tempt you to cross a line? Seems best to be xtra careful with this guy in the future. On the other hand it might be completely innocent. Respectful is often just not in the vocabulary of young people.
