Accusations XVII

Extreme stupidities found in the online training I had to go through to be certified in safety, and prevention of abuse, neglect and exploitation of disabled individuals:

1. the multiple-choice question that asked examees to select
A. [answer]
B. [different answer]
C. both A and B
D. only A

That's right: A is A, and D is also A.

2. the closed captioning for the audio files that didn't work on my computer, which occasionally read "a direct service provider telling about a time when safety was an issue on the job. Preferably someone with an ethnically diverse voice," instead of giving an actual transcript of the selected audio file.

3. the chapters of the training in which the closed captioning actually advised trainees to "listen to the clip below and then go to the next page." In a training for people learning how to interact with those with various physical and mental disabilities, assuming that anyone who needs to use closed captioning to access the test can still hear the voice clip calls into question your right to teach the material.
