I've seen a few "you need to understand this is what my students are dealing with" threads, and they're powerful and definitely reflective of the reality I'm seeing--but I urge fellow faculty to refrain from sharing these stories, even masked, without the student's permission.

also, some of the anxieties like a story about a student not being able to get a book or post an assignment on time, etc, it's like that's professor induced anxiety and they should go recalibrate and ease up on assignments pull back and ... not post? I'm not into it.

I think it's OK to say 'too many students aren't able to do the workload that I have planned for them...' Posting helps other faculty see we SHOULD ease up and we can strategize. But do NOT say 'a student told me today that...'

The “collections” of stories come off as v anthrolological, raising the questions of consent you’re bringing up. It’s also not our job to redeem or save our students (in that “white man’s burden” way).

Oh, I really do think it is our job to find out what our students' educational needs are and then try to meet their educational needs--in a professional way. It's part of our profession to keep an eye on that. We can't solve personal problems but we can show concern.

I think it's OK to be very general and say 'my students are struggling with many different issues...' or whatever. Don't ever tell a personal story that is anonymized though!
