I totally misunderstood your point. You disagreed with the guy who said only diagnosed disabilities should be treated with respect so I thought you agreed with me when I said unrelated skills shouldn’t be discriminate against. Apparently the discrimination never was an issue for you. I am once again disappointed in humanity.
Not that you can read all this without text-to-speech xD
Where is this ablism coming from?
The post talks explicitly about teenagers in exam halls. Don’t know if “exam hall” is a term for regular class rooms but either way it talks about teenagers. True, younger kids should learn it. Even if without practice, you have a hard time as a teenager, you can revive the skill later. Source: I did.
You’re ratioed in each and every comment and still you act with this feeling of superiority. I admire this level of confidence or should I say lack of self reflection.
Where I live, students get a calculator in I think 8th or 9th grade. So at this point, it would be ok to also hang a digital clock in the classroom, right?
If you are repeatedly misunderstood and want to change that, maybe rephrase your point if you have one. Than you might even be taken seriously.
You said we are required mental arithmetic which isn’t the case in higher education
So digital clocks should be allowed in exams that allow calculators? I mean both are taught in the lower grades and if calculators are allowed in high school, so should digital clocks be, at least according to your logic
… in the context that many students can’t read analog clocks and shouldn’t get help. Pretty sure there is no official diagnosis for this so no problem and they don’t deserve to know how much time they have left in a biology exam. Again, there is no reason to discriminate against people lacking unrelated skills, if diagnosed or undiagnosed.
Students with dyslexia do get special treatment. There is no reason to discriminate against people lacking an unrelated skill and it’s not funny to demand it so we at least agree on something
I think the strength of a federated social media is that it’s easy to change instance and infighting is a way to have this discussion and come to conclusions. You wouldn’t convince people to leave reddit by posting on lemmy and you wouldn’t turn a tankie into an anarchosyndicalist but you might reach people unaware about what instance they landed on or raise awareness about how to interact with communities and users on .ml. Why have a federated network anyway when you refuse to engage with the concept of federation?
And you are sure you weren’t given a staged tour that has nothing to do with the reality of most people?
Old franchises don’t even try to explore strange new worlds anymore but rather boldly go where they have been before (sorry not sorry for the SNW season 3 spoiler)
excuse me!
Apology accepted

I like the post but how is the last answer funny?
In Germany, we put both name and MNr (Matrikelnummer) on everything. As a tutor, I once had 2 students with the same first and last name and they happened to have my first name which confused me even more
Totally pedantic and annoying
Totally annoying. I also told him to rephrase
I reached common ground with him that diagnosed dyslexic people should get special treatment and I extended it to other unrelated skills like reading analog clocks (in biology exams). You, on the other hand, make fun of dyslexia. What context did I miss? Is ablism ok when the butt of the joke is an asshole? If the conversion was about whether dyslexic people or non native speakers should get extra time or something, would you be team “nah, they are just stupid”?
