Stanford Prof: Calling Homework Easy Is A ‘Microaggression’

Talking about how easy your homework assignment is could be a microaggression, according to Ruth Starkman, a professor at Stanford University.

Writing for the Huffington Post, Starkman argued that referring to your homework as “easy” could hurt other students’ feelings, since not all students may have found the assignment easy to complete.

“Had you been listening, you might have heard others describe your comment as a ‘microaggression,’ a term coined in 1970 by Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Chester M. Pierce,” Starkman wrote.

Explaining why you found the homework easy could be a microaggression too, because “even if it’s not a lie,” it could also be “a form of bragging.”

We need macroaggressions. Kids need it. To build resiliency.

Kind of nit-picky to me.

Math homework was always hard for me, but Geography,
English, History, and Sciences were easy.

Comparing individual aptitudes is a fool's errand.

Buffonery like this REALLY makes me want to become a MACRO aggressor. :)

By this "logic", just making the homework difficult is a micro aggression in itself. Fire that prof!
