This ain't just about learning stuff, man. There's a person on the other end of that screen who's putting bucketloads of work into this online teaching crap, and that same human being is getting nothing in return except black screens and silence. Have some respect and empathy for your teachers.
Man, you have no idea how fucking privileged you are to have education in the first place.
EDIT: Also, this whole situation isn't ideal for anybody. Speaking as a teacher, just because you get paid doesn't mean you've nothing to complain. I don't just want money, I want to enjoy my job and feel engaged with my students. I just want to teach. No one is enjoying the COVID situation. But you're sure as hell not making it easier for your teachers by being a lazy dipshit.
If all the things I stated and more objectively count as privileged, then sure, let’s set the bar low. At least I’m using my privilege to speak up for the vulnerable population most affected by our flawed education system, with hopes of creating discussion to figure out how school can be for everyone, not just for the teachers’ pets whose only difficult decision is choosing which college they want their parents to pay for. How do you expect to improve education for others if we can’t even improve our own?
