Should college students have the right to talk back to their professors
When a professor says something dickish or pulls a massive dick move, do you think college students should be able to call him/her out on it and talk back. Do you think it is in our right to do so?
I want to all the time when my Orgo professor says something dickish or refuses to help, but I don't want my grades to be effected by it. I am all against talking back to adults, but if an adult doesn't give us respect, I am an adult as well so I should be able to do the same thing

Edited by RIP delta: 10/31/2013 7:24:10 PMWhen an American student came here for a few months on an exchange and lived in my flat, she said that it was a very formal relationship over there and that she had to refer to her lecturers as 'professor' or 'doctor' and would get in trouble if she didn't. Here it is rather informal - lecturers are called by their first name and talked to like anybody else. I think that if a lecturer said something rude to me, I wouldn't get in any trouble for responding - after all I'm the customer in the educational transaction.

>college students >rights I see the problem here.

I already do, not out of spite - but in a joking manner.

You have the right to do it, I just wouldn't recommend it

Edited by Spawn: 10/31/2013 7:58:52 PMThat's where you're suppose to be an adult and talk to them privately if you have a problem with them. Most colleges also have surveys that you fill out at the end of the semesters. Those are taken seriously. I sure wouldn't appreciate a colleague calling out my professor and wasting class time when I'm paying for my classes.

How is it you don't have a right? You said yourself that you're an adult you can say whatever the hell you want. It sounds like you're scared of the consequences. So this is a point in your "adult" life when you decide what's more important.

Take the higher road, you can tell them off, but it shouldn't devolve into a "he started it!" sort of thing.

2 RepliesMy Media professor mispronounced "Voldemort", then complained when we correct him. Honestly, I'll talk back if I feel that I should. Not gonna stop me.
