Sensitivity Training, Thursday, November 3rd

There was an informative video set up for the students today. Because half of forcing people to learn sensitivity seemed to involve watching poorly made videos.

Go to any workplace training seminar, you'll see.

"We're gonna look at age discrimination today," Guy told the class. Because it was important to not assume crap about old people or else they might kick your ass. So might kids though. So, moral of the story was totally to just be nice to everyone out of crippling fear of an imminent beat down.

"Take notes about what you see and discuss it as a class," he added, putting the movie on. "What do you think about different age groups outside of class, blah blah blah. You guys know the drill here."

He was possibly holding out too much hope there, though. Blame Kyle for that.

"If you've got any questions, go to the TA's--or just me. Might be safer to just ask me."

Blast, but this movie was dull. Ben tried to look as interested as possible without actually being the least bit interested.

"My dad's teacher was a two foot tall alien who was more than 800 years old and he could still kick Dad's ass without blinking," Ben said. "Age isn't that defining a factor in determining how qualified someone is for a job."

"I mean, adults usually have way more money and power," Quinn said, twirling her pencil. "If younger people get preferential treatment because they're better-looking or in better shape or whatever, that just evens stuff up as far as I'm concerned."

Talk to the TAs

Once they ping in.

Considering that Surreal was looking at the possibility of living somewhere between three hundred to a few thousand years, ageism really didn't make much sense to her.

Then again, she was resigned to nothing in this class making sense to her.

Talk to the Teacher

Probably a better idea.
