I went back to university as a mature student. Our prof was like 15 minutes late and some “did you know if the prof is 15 minutes late you’re legally allowed to leave?” Chatter started.
Me, the ornery old man of 26 had to explain to the teenagers that they’re adults now and they can leave whenever the fuck they want. It’s about choices now, not compulsion.
Except for a fact that the 15 mins rule absolves you from consequences from not being there - where absences can impact your grade. So far so, that some less important courses can get you a passing grade simply from going to the lectures.
If you can do all the assignments and compete the tests without showing up, there would be no problem.
However educational professionals have found out that the chance of you completing the tasks set for you is directly correlated to your showing up and praying attention.
Anything else both drops their own performance ratio, but, more importantly, is quite disrespectful of their profession.
Therefore you show up in time and compete your tasks before the deadline. Also disruptive behaviour in class is frowned upon as you negatively impact the ability of others to perform well.
So if you enroll in education, you follow the rules. If you didn’t, you kind of have a point.
But if you think yourself a special care of genius that doesn’t need to study and show up for class, please stay clear of education.
I do think showing up and paying attention is the right approach, it’s what I prefer to do too!
But as you mentioned, “the chance of you completing the tasks set for you” … aka tasks and tests that are used to measure performance. That should be used, not some correlative excuse for educators not to do their jobs
Most teachers are very respectable. But grading for petty reasons? that’s not respectful. Especially if it’s for a paid service that you’re getting paid, and are able to do regardless of all students being present
Yeah, nobody is ever able to complete university level study without sitting in lecture halls listening to egotistical professors ramble on, that’s not possible…
Not saying it’s not possible. Just that the system is like that for a reason. And it’s really silly if you sign into a specific curriculum and not plan to adhere to it’s rules.
It’s like buying an expensive tool and throw out the manual, use it in a way it’s not designed to and then complain about it.
You can just not enroll, or enroll in a open uni, like you posted. But don’t enroll, go against the rules and then complain.

Some teachers really should grow tf up. Why are they so butthurt over someone being present that they’re adjusting test scores to fit?

Agreed with your last statement. Respect is a reciprocal affair

That’s what reciprocal means tbh
Someone has more to their personal life, some teachers reciprocate by being a petty Karen. I don’t think that’s the right approach
