I’m a college student and I was taken back to high school the other day in class. a conversation between a student and professor professor (mid lecture): put your phone away (directed at student) student: I’m texting my mom professor: I really don’t care srudent: well I care (goes off about how “thats his mom”) professor (interrupts student and says to the whole class) if you need to use your phone, please step outside student: but I’m participating in the activity professor. continues lecture like nothing happened student: mumbles angrily and continues looking at phone now, also for reference this student is rarely in class, and leaves/arrives at whatever time they want. so understandably the professor is already frustrated with them (as are the rest of our class) and it sort of makes me think about high school and how even adults who chose to go to school behave with no respect to their instructors or class mates. For reference this class is 75 minutes and we get 15 minute break between classes IF you even have classes back to back… I think also in a way this shows the link between parents and teachers being divided on the topic of their kids behavior. given I have no idea if this student was actually talking to his mother or if she knew he was supposed to be in class. I digress, this just made me appreciate all my teachers in grade school so much more. They had to deal with this every second of the day, every day. Not to say it isn’t an issue in college, people are just better at hiding it or, as the professor suggested leave the room. submitted by /u/TypicalAlbatross911 [link] [comments]
