Curious about teachers requiring off campus field trips for online only classes
I have a predicament and I was trying to get some input from other students
This is the second class I have taken at PCC where a teacher requires students to attend something off campus for classes that are listed as online only.
In spring I took a one credit ECE class about Montessori and the teacher had us do two off campus activities one was a two and a half hour observation at a Montessori School, the second was the entire class meeting at her former school that she used to own for 3 hours on a Thursday night. The class I specifically signed up for was to be online only because I have children that don't have child care.
When I was unable to attend the off campus portions she made me drop the class.
Now I am in a health safety and nutrition class and a few days ago the teacher announced to us that we need to attend a school and do a two-hour observation to make a safety checklist to see if the school follows it. And that we need to turn it in by the 5th even though majority of places are closed for the 4th of July. This class specifically is online only with no meeting dates.
This seems like it goes against the school's agreement of what an online class requirements are and it doesn't seem fair. Especially with the summertime my children are not in school and I am not able to find somewhere to observe especially with such short notice.
