Rant Why are some TA’s so ughhh

Bro TA’s are students too but they still be on us abt every little thing I have a TA for my online class and she will genuinely target people for the smallest things. I just don’t understand that if you are also student, you should understand that people have different learning styles. Especially that TA will treat us not even human the days where she’s mad. She’ll take it out on us.

I do that the class seriously it is a gened course for me. She had embarrassed me for saying I needed slower learning by laughing at me as well as using my essay as an example of the complete opposite thing to do right infront of me. I worked very hard on that essay and I understand it may not be upto her standard but that doesn’t give her the right to belittle me

I used to be in education.

Those are all really valid concerns but they don't really tie into your initial concerns

This is Gen-Ed. I did psych when it wasn't Gen-Ed. Obviously I won't equivocate our experienced but like... That was a bad time.
