The Problems with the Classroom Environment
By Emma Foley
1. My suggestions for changing the school environment are as follows: educate Teachers on
Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: In my educational career, the majority of the ableism I experienced didn’t
come from other students, but teachers and other school authorities I believed were supposed to help me. I
remember in my Sophomore year of high school, I emailed my English teacher to let her know I had ADHD.
Her only reply was to drop the class; it was too hard for someone like me. Mind you, the school year hadn’t
even started. I still took the class, and received quite high marks, but she would belittle my efforts
consistently, chastising me from everything to my discussion points being “wrong” to my handwriting. Thank
God for my high school’s strictness about fair grading. Secondly, educating teachers about neurodivergencies
would help them with classroom and coursework planning, as well as help them to better understand
disabled students.
2. Make Classrooms More Comfortable: Cramped, uncomfortable classrooms are no good for all students, thus
we need to get rid of the desk-chair model, and provide students with larger desks that have unconnected
chairs, as well as space out desks. Though this is a reach, lecture halls needs to be completely redesigned to
space students out (which is also helpful to prevent the spread of COVID!) and allow them greater desk
space, as well as leg space! Another issue is lighting, with many classrooms lit by bright, irritating industrial
lights. All classrooms should have windows, or at least less abrasive lighting, in order to combat seasonal
mental illnesses, and make the classroom appear more “open” than cramped. The spaces between desks
should also be accessible, to prevent others from tripping, and for students with mobility issues to access the
entire classroom.
3. Classroom Rules: It was always embarrassing for me when I had to ask for the bathroom, especially when a
teacher denied my request. These rules are generally ridiculous, especially for younger children, who often
are barely potty-trained. Neurodivergent children, especially those with autism, often have gastrointestinal
disorders as a result of their disabilities. Some neurodivergent children simply can’t hold it either, as often
times our basic needs are only sensed by us when they’re demandingly present. Asking to go to the
bathroom is frankly antiquated and only hurts the student, a child shouldn’t need permission to complete
such a necessary task. Another issue is that neurodivergent students are often prohibited from engaging in
focus-strategies, such as doodling or using fidget toys. Both of these are proven to help maintain a
neurodivergent person’s focus and help them relax. Making sweeping generalization about if the student is
listening or not is simply unfair to the student, as this doubts their ability.
4. Class Structure: Many classes are just based upon listening to the teacher/professor, with little stress placed
on applying the learned material within the classroom. Therefore, lessons should be much more dynamic,
whether that be through inclusive, smaller-group discussions, or via hands-on activities. Just reading notes
off of slides doesn’t cut it for most students anyways, so a more dynamic model of teaching is absolutely
necessary! Teachers should also assign course-long classroom groups in larger classroom environments,
which helps neurodivergent students initiate connects with their peers, and be able to seek help out easier,
especially if these groups have TA leaders, which help coordinate the groups.
5. Overall, the standardized learning environment that’s currently in place in most schools and universities
totally excludes the needs of neurodivergent learners, and the need to be changed in order to benefit both
disabled students and the student body as a whole.

A lawyer used ChatGPT to prepare a court filing. It went horribly awry.
A lawyer who relied on ChatGPT to prepare a court filing on behalf of a man suing an airline is now all too familiar with the
artificial intelligence (AI) tool’s shortcomings — including its propensity to invent facts.
Roberto Mata sued Colombian airline Avianca last year, alleging that a metal food and beverage cart injured his knee on a
flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York. When Avianca asked a Manhattan judge to dismiss the lawsuit based on the
statute of limitations, his lawyer submitted a brief based on research done by ChatGPT.
While ChatGPT can be useful to professionals in numerous industries, including the legal profession, it has proved itself to be
both limited and unreliable. In this case, the AI invented court cases that didn’t exist, and asserted that they were real. The fabrications
were revealed when Avianca’s lawyers approached the case’s judge, saying they couldn’t locate the cases cited in Mata’s lawyers’
brief in legal databases.
“It seemed clear when we didn’t recognize any of the cases in their opposition brief that something was amiss,” said the
airline’s lawyer. And soon they figured it was some sort of chatbot of some kind. On the other hand, the passenger’s lawyer said that
it was the first time he’d used ChatGPT for work and, therefore, he was unaware of the possibility that its content could be false.

The passenger who sued the airline company because of an incident that happened during his flight is Colombian.

What life in medieval Europe was really like
A time of innovation, philosophy, and legendary
works of art: the realities of the medieval period (500 to
1500 C.E.) in Europe may surprise you. Many know the years
before the Renaissance and _________________ that
followed as Europe’s “Dark Ages,” a time of backward,
slovenly, and brutal people who were technologically
primitive and hopelessly superstitious.
Sure, it would take until the 19th century for the
germ theory of disease to overtake the concept of humors
and “miasmas” that could damage human health. But the
___________ image of medieval people as slovenly,
unwashed, and lacking hygiene is false. In fact, both indoor
and outdoor bathing were beloved in Europe. People not
only made and used soap at home, but they frequented
bathhouses—some public, some private, some merely fronts
for brothels.
A myth persists that during the Middle Ages, the
unenlightened believed Earth was flat and worried that ships
might even fall off the planet’s edge. That’s patently false:
People knew the planet was a sphere as far back as ancient
Greece (12th to 9th centuries B.C.), and had relatively
complex astronomical and planetary ______________ by the
time Christopher Columbus made his voyage to the
Americas in 1492.
The so-called “Dark Ages” is a myth historians have
spent years trying to disprove. The myth seems to stem from
some authors’ use of “dark” to refer to everything from a
14th-century poet’s complaints about the quality of local
literature to a 17th-century historian’s failed attempt to find
historical sources from centuries earlier.

Read the excerpt of the chapter “Decolonization” from the book Post-Colonial Studies:
The Key Concepts below to answer QUESTION.
“Decolonization is the process of revealing and dismantling colonialist power in all its forms.
This includes dismantling the hidden aspects of those institutional and cultural forces that had
maintained the colonialist power and that remain even after political independence is achieved.
Initially, in many places in the colonized world, the process of resistance was conducted in
terms or institutions appropriated from the colonizing culture itself. This was only to be
expected, since early nationalists had been educated to perceive themselves as potential heirs
to European political systems and models of culture. This occurred not only in settler colonies
where the white colonial élite was a direct product of the system, but even in colonies of
occupation. Macaulay’s infamous 1835 Minute on Indian Education had proposed the
deliberate creation in India of just such a class of ‘brown white men’, educated to value
European culture above their own. This is the locus classicus of this hegemonic process of
control, but there are numerous other examples in the practices of other colonies. […]
As well as direct and indirect economic control, the continuing influence of Eurocentric cultural
models privileged the imported over the indigenous: colonial languages over local languages;
writing over orality and linguistic culture over inscriptive cultures of other kinds (dance, graphic
arts, which had often been designated ‘folk culture’). Against all these occlusions and
overwritings of pre-colonial cultural practices, a number of programmes of decolonization have
been attempted. Notable among these have been those that seek to revive and revalue local
languages. The pressure of the global economy means that élite communication is dominated
by the use of the ex-colonial languages, notably the new ‘world language’ of English, whose
power derives from its historical use across the largest of the modern empires and from its use
by the United States.” (ASHCROFT, et al., 2007, p. 56-57)
A. Look at the following groups of countable and uncountable nouns:
I – nationalist, example, world, empire, program. II – process, culture, power, product, information. III – decolonization, information, power, education, advice. IV – institution, decolonization, advice, system, model.
B. Considering the classification between countable and uncountable nouns, in which groups do all the words share the same type of nouns?
I – nationalist, example, world, empire, program. II – process, culture, power, product, information. III – decolonization, information, power, education, advice. IV – institution, decolonization, advice, system, model.
