I used to teach massage at a vocational school, and for multiple reasons had a “no phones” policy on the classroom (distraction, exposed body parts, and others.) I could have ignored it during lectures except that the overlap of students on their phone and the ones asking to re-explain information or just lost as to what they’re supposed to be doing was nearly perfect.
I truly don’t understand the college students who are paying insane tuition to be there to get a degree and they couldn’t care less. I don’t know if their parents are forcing them to go to college or what.
Honestly even in a professional setting it’s gotten so much worse. Been in meetings with VPs directors, c line, everyone has their phones out testing and emailing away during the meeting not even caring
As a software dev, this has always been a thing in the industry. Very rarely is our attention needed, and we are mostly there to fill seats and answer a handful of questions.
Sometimes our full attention is needed, but we generally know about those beforehand. For the rest, we continue to test, write code, answer communications, etc.
Since COVID students do not give a fuck. They used to hide it, now they get offended when you tell them to put their phone away.
Adolescents don’t like being told what to do? I’m shocked!
Or adults!
