That world doesn't exist anymore. I have to ask students to sit down in the middle of a lecture. I have had students stand up and walk in front of me while I am introducing a new topic. They text, listen to IPODS and generally act as if they are the only person that matters in the room. My daughter nearly got jumped for asking three girls who repeatedly interrupted a history lecture class to be quiet. It is not fair to those students who do the right thing, who have manners and a sense of decency to endure these self-serving twits for one minute more. If I had my choice, I would throw students out for doing such things. As it is, a glare, a write up or a snarky comment is just about all I am allowed. Whatever happened to common decency?Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.com
