What is work?

I just read an article on Callaci’s book, ‘Wages for Housework’.

It is a great article (link at the end of the thread), but…

At one point she describes how, for a time, her son needed her to sit with him with one hand on his stomach for him to go to sleep. She later wondered, “Was that work?” And decided it felt wrong to call it such.

In its wisdom, #SUNY central has apparently decided that allowing an instructor to manage multiple sections of the same course from one LMS shell is a violation of #FERPA

So here I am coding and entering grades and fighting with #brightspace to perfectly synchronize my two intro #statistics courses.

I would like to have a conversation with whatever SUNY lawyers made this ridiculous decision, with a FERPA representative on conference call.
