marginalization

Unfortunately once again, I am going to have to leave a negative review for this school. This school decided to end my class for me today, when they wanted to on their terms, with no regard for my individual circumstances. After a few weeks of struggling with one sick child child with a bedwetting problem, another child with after-school activities, a verbally abusive husband recently placed in a wheelchair, and no help with any household chores, I fell behind in certain aspects of the class. To be very specific, what I fell behind in wasn't reading my books or following the assignments, it was the interaction requirement where students are required to post reviews in response to book readings and content-related questions. They consider posting an attendance requirement. This posting requirement is insignificant in proportion to the rest of the class content, and my grade was still an A. People make up ridiculously inane comments just to get points for interaction. In fact, there was a woman in a previous class who could barely compose a sentence, who was stealing other people's online works, and posting without references. Complaint after complaint yielded no results, and I was disciplined for sending her an email accusing her of plagiarizing, and they still gave her credit for the class, I'm sure. I posted a review about that woman previously. The administration this evening provided me with an excuse that the DOE requires them to keep track of attendance, and that near-death circumstances are required to be able to reinstate a class cancelled due to attendance. I was told the system automatically does it. They do not track login/logout and do not consider it attendance, therefore they refused to acknowledge that I was still reading my books and perusing discussions. I know that their refusal to reinstate my class had nothing to do with DOE, and everything to do with placing this ridiculous policy above my worth as a human being. Now I have an employer who is never going to pay for the class because it wasn't completed, and the school won't reverse the charges, I'm sure. I'm not paying for the class, because I can't. I went to them to improve my life, and instead they left me with a huge bill that I'll never be able to pay back. I'm posting this everywhere because I want people to know they don't care about the work you do, or who you are. They care about policy, your student number, and that's about it. I would avoid this school. I've gone to other colleges and never was I locked out of a class due to attendance (and this I wouldn't even refer to as attendance), in the midst of completing it. I had planned to finish the posting requirements today though late and accept a late grade, but they destroyed my opportunity to do that as well. A student can choose to have mediocre grades and attendance and accept a mediocre grade if they want to. That is none of their business. I know there are a lot of different complaints on this school, as I have a colleague who is attempting to sue them right now regarding a similar issue. I'd watch it if you plan to go through them as they will cost you a lot of time and expense.
