Edit: Found more details here, professor is Sydney Engelberg of Hebrew University, Jerusalem

Bringing a baby to class is so completely disrespectful of the other students who are spending thousands of dollars to go to school only to have their learning disrupted by the most horrible sound on earth. This woman is incredibly selfish.

are you kidding me? this woman needs an education too, especially since she now has a child to take care of. yes, she brought her baby to class, but do you honestly think she would have done that if she had any other option? she’s not being selfish, she’s trying to simultaneously get an education while raising a baby. and just as a side note, “other students who are spending thousands of dollars” yeah she’s a student too meaning she’s also spending those thousands of dollars.

as a student, i would much rather my fellow classmates brought their kids with them than miss an important class. a child is nothing compared to all the other distractions in a classroom, i s2g. half of the time, i see more than 50% of my fellow classmates on their phones or laptops instead of paying attention to a prof (and i’m guilty of being one of them) so why in the hell is a baby more “disrupting” than someone playing candy crush?? and she was going to leave when the child started geetting restless but the prof CHOSE to help her out so she could stay. THAT IS AWESOME!!!

i went to school with my mom when she was in college all the time. i sat in lit classes, chinese history, etc. granted, i was like 8 or 9 at the time and played pokemon all the way through but having a kid should NOT prevent any parent from getting their education and i’m glad to see this prof take it in stride and recognize that student parents are under SO MUCH PRESSURE to get through school and handle their family at the same time. 

I remember seeing preschool age kids sitting in on my classes because the nontraditional students couldn’t get babysitters on days the preK or daycare was closed.  One time I shared my colored pencils with a little girl.  Profs never said a word about it when it happened–except one who cracked a joke about watching his language on that day.  I’d rather work with the single mom or dad who has to bring a kid to a study session than a fratboi dudebro who just wants to copy all my notes any damn day.   (True story.)

Had my first student bring in her children this semester. I let her know that it was no problem and that she could bring them in any time. 

Being a mom is hard. Being a mom and going to school full time is even harder I bet. The least I can do is help them out.

This is where fandom angers me by mischaracterizing Jane Foster as some shy wilting flower with anime eyes clinging to Thor like a damsel in distress because EXCUSE ME

Jane Foster drove a fucking TRUCK into a LIGHTING STORM

Jane Foster broke a (as far as she knew) delusional, strange man out of a hospital to help him get his hammer back from a shitload of government agents

Jane Foster STAYED and HELPED EVACUATE CITIZENS after the Destroyer came for Thor

And that’s not even STARTING on the shit she pulled in Thor 2

Jane Foster is exactly the same off-the-cuff, zero-self-preservation, stubborn little shit as skinny!Steve was only she does it for SCIENCE instead of JUSTICE and if you don’t love Jane Foster I invite you to check yourself so hard
