College Professor Shares A Script All Lecturers Should Use When Students Email About Getting Simptomps Of COVID-19
Quarantine had posed some serious challenges for college students. As schools were closed down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the chaos ensued. Colleges were forced to figure out how to proceed with the school year as quickly as possible. However, the biggest decision making has fallen into the hands of professors. Some decided to transfer all of the classes online, whether by holding virtual video classes or prerecording them and uploading them where students can have access to the material. There were also those who decided to give up entirely and canceled the finals altogether. While the majority found some sort of solutions of what do during the quarantine, there’s one thing a college professor Melissa Wong wishes that lecturers won’t forget–how to be human. After receiving her very first email from a student who contracted COVID-19, the professor took to Twitter to share a script about how one should reply.

Simptomps? Ironic in a post about school that a spelling error this egregious would be made. Do you guys not know how to proofread?

For those who think teachers would "of course" be sympathetic? Day after my sister's funeral, I had a thesis chapter due. NNo extension, no sympathy, no "how're you holding up?"... Nope. Hand it in on time or fail. So.... NO, kindness is NOT obvious to some people... If we weren't clued in by the trolls here at BP!

@Leo...check with your school. Some schools have a bereavement absence rule that allows student that have suffered a loss in the family to get extra time to complete their classes or to retake classes the next semester without further cost depending on the impact of the loss...(i.e. If your father passes and leaves you responsible for handling his estate.) It's crappy your teacher was that heartless.
