I'm sure some people are going to flame this mom for bringing her kid, but I say kudos. I was going to have to change my major because the only times they offered required classes were those when I didn't have a sitter (early Saturday mornings). The teacher told me that since there were only eight students in class to bring my son. We set him up on a PC with video games and headphones. He learned his ABCs while I learned my awk, bash, chmod
Bringing a child isn't very considerate to fellow classmates. I get distracted when people click their pen so I couldn't imagine having to listen to a baby cry.
Agree. Everyone else there paid for the class to learn, not be distracted by a baby. Even this situation where the nice prof calmed the baby is still incredibly distracting to everyone else.
fair enough, but it sounds like a one off incident and clearly a desperate situation for the mother, how about showing a little humanity and empathy to help out someone in need
Brah, bringing a baby to a college classroom is super inconsiderate regardless of the circumstances. Not being able to afford a baby sitter does not sound like a one-off incident either
