Meme Post vs. Student Concern

It was the start of the academic year 2022-2023 since Hyflex Learning rose to attend to the educational needs of the students. However, questions arise about why professors purposely don’t respond to students’ queries.

There had been a series of complaints about professors who ignored student concerns yet continuously shared memes. Usually, some professors set time for consultation about the student’s queries, but some don’t even bother reading them. Most of the time, they just ‘read’ the student’s questions and left them seen.

This situation makes students anxious about why the professors take days, weeks, or even months to respond. Raising concerns should be a convenient way to reach the professors for their questions about the activities, lessons, grades, and consultation about their subjects.

Though nothing is wrong with sharing memes and sparing time on social media. However, those concerns must be considered and attended to ease the students’ queries.

Memes may be hyped through social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook as a means of relieving stress. But such concerns needed to be attended to.
