Annie asked me to answer you since I have relevant recent experience.

I've lately been doing some college teaching as an adjunct instructor, and the department I'm in has policies and procedures in place to prevent just the sort of unfair practice you describe. We take exam security and equity more seriously than your school. So i agree that it isn't just unfair, it's irregular.

Can I change my answer to what Canabineer said?

That sounds far better than "hey, see if they want to party Fri night"

Ok I see where this is going. You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately you appear to be in the wrong social milieu. Physicians, nurses, social workers, educators, lawyers we all behave differently and are educated a bit differently.

If you went into engineering or medicine this bullshit would not be tolerated. There wouldn't need to be rules, the entire class would eat you alive. They compete and we were ruthless. If you scored low you did not get the residency you wanted and that translated to cold, hard cash.

You are in a field where there are few bright lines. So they aren't as quick to can someone. What they know from their profession is that this girl will continue until she excludes herself. She is not fooling anyone. It's just she won't harm anyone like a physician so she can be allowed a little more rope to hang herself so to speak.

That kind of laxity at work drove me nuts. I liked clean, clear and sterile precision. I hated the white coats and their getting lost in all the enable this, help that blah blah minutiae. I liked it clear! Mortality? My issue, not mortality your issue.

You have a caring heart, a thirst for knowledge and a spirit of justice. I do not think you will remain a social worker forever but if you do you will have to lead. But I could see you becoming a social worker as a stepping stone to your actual calling. Sometimes our calling comes in steps and each step is very valuable.

I would do nothing other than complete my classes and watch how this is handled by your professors. See how the role models of your future profession handle it and look to your future. I have complete faith you'll figure out. Matter of fact I'll bet this post is to little to late and you already have figured it out. You are one smart cookie and you aren't afraid to fight for others. I have complete faith you'll find the middle path here.

PS I apologize for missing this yesterday. I have my usual excuses, to much edible, to much gardening, and to much wine, poor hubby had to perform a keyboardectomy when he got home LOL, hugs.
