Just When You Thought It Was Over

I had REALLY hoped this would be over with. I really did. CWSL shady grading policy got me academically dismissed. I sued them over it. They changed their shady grading policy. Am I asking them to reinstate me? No. Am I asking them to review all the previous students they improperly dismissed? No. I just want them to write off the $12,000 of the refund of the loan money that they repaid. That would not have been an issue, had I not been academically dismissed.

So. Settlement's off the table.

Yeah, instead they went ahead and filed their demurrer. Stating how I failed to state a claim. Which, of course is bullshit. But we all know how the unrepresented fare in court. And apparently, so does CWSL. The put SO little effort into the demurrer like they know that it'll be that easy against a self-represented litigant. THIS was one of the reasons I originally wanted to become a lawyer. To prevent the entitled from using their resources to bully others in a court of law. Funny how things happen.

It's like they're pouring salt on the wound left by twisting the knife in my back. The apartment I rented was due to the proximate location of CWSL. This means at least once a day I'm driving past the school. This means at least once a day, I get really down on myself for not getting good enough grades that there wouldn't have been any question if I made a 2.0 GPA. At least once a day, I feel frustrated that the institution I attended in order to learn how to prevent oppression, is oppressing me.

But the reality is, they didn't change their grading policy because of me. If I had been banging out this blog with no one reading it, they wouldn't have done jack shit. They did it cuz I put it on blast for all the students to see. It was the pressure from the students that changed their policy. Wouldn't it be crazy if people just did things because it was the right thing to do, instead of waiting to see if it's something they legally have to?

It's thoughts like these that should have tipped me off that I wouldn't make a good lawyer.
