I'm in my 30s and back in college and the amount of little shit heels on Tik Tok during the professor's lecture is too damn high! (Had to)
Makes me want to walk around class and slap the phones out of their hands, maybe slap them too. Hella disrespectful to the the teach and distracting for students who actually want to be there.
I feel like college professors are often overwhelmed by the the amount of it, and really just aren't disciplinarians like K-12 teachers are.
In theory college processors are as much researchers as teachers, many moreso. That said if students want to waste the money they're paying by distracting themselves from the learning, the grades will likely reflect that. If I was teaching at college level, I would take solace in that
They aren't going to pass the class like that. Damn sure not at medical school. The students are only wasting their own time and money. Someone who makes straight C's through med school still gets to be called Doctor at the end of it but these kids aren't going to make even close to that grade if they're not paying attention.
