Legacy Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 with all due respect, you were retarded for doing it a third time. you already got in trouble for it twice before and you did it again. that's just not smart all, dude - sorry lol. of course. a professor can drop any student at any time. failing them for texting - I highly doubt that's legal. bro, he gave you three chances and you blew it stupendously. all you had to do was not text in that class again and yet you did it anyway. texting can be a distraction to the professor and other students. if I was up there teaching and some kid was just sitting there texting the whole class, it would piss me off after awhile.Second time actually and he never gave me a warning he was going to drop me. You sound just as retarded as the teacher right now. No other college level professor cares. This guy is just [expletive]ing gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 of course. a professor can drop any student at any time. failing them for texting - I highly doubt that's legal. Not at Rutgers. Or any real school. texting can be a distraction to the professor and other students. if I was up there teaching and some kid was just sitting there texting the whole class, it would piss me off after awhile. You are paying to be there, they are being paid to lecture. It is not high school any more. Whether or not it is a distraction, their job is not to make sure you are paying attention but to LECTURE the class. Not teach, lecture. They aren't teachers, they are professors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Any professor who cares the least big about a student texting just takes it as a slight to them because most college professors have a ridiculously overinflated ego. They're all [expletive]s for the most part, but there's always those 1 or 2 professors who are cool, down to earth guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Second time actually and he never gave me a warning he was going to drop me.LMFAO are you [expletive]ing kidding me, bro? you said the exact opposite [expletive]ing thing yesterday. He moved me so I would stop texting, but then he caught me again today and got pissed and kicked me out. He said next time he's gonna drop me from the class.that's the biggest fail I've ever seen in my life lmao. You sound just as retarded as the teacher right now.he's a professor, not a teacher. learn the terminology, and be mild, young fella. No other college level professor cares. This guy is just [expletive]ing gay.dude, you have no clue lol. pretty much every professor I've had (and I've had at least twenty by now) has strongly discouraged texting and/or gotten seriously pissed at someone for doing it in class. my math professor makes everyone turn off their phones and put them on her desk before we take a test. if anyone's phone goes off, they automatically get a zero on the test and get reported to the dean. she also checks our arms, our pockets, the soles of our shoes, etc to see if we're cheating. You are paying to be there, they are being paid to lecture. It is not high school any more. Whether or not it is a distraction, their job is not to make sure you are paying attention but to LECTURE the class. Not teach, lecture. They aren't teachers, they are professors.i'm pretty sure it's their job to teach as well lol. so you believe texting should be allowed in every college classroom across the country? that's great. what better way to ensure the success of our students than to let each and every single one of them text during class, at any time, whenever and wherever? sure, it'll be extremely distracting to the one guy in the class who's not texting and actually trying to learn something, but hey, student rights are way more important than letting people learn. the guy who sits there while every single person around him is texting is just going to have to deal with it - how dare he not want to be distracted after paying thousands in tuition? ^exactly. Paid for this [expletive]ing class, I can show up if I want and do whatever I want. I've already aced everything so far too. My teacher is just a dick.that attitude is what got you screwed. you might want to change lol. I was the same way coming in from high school, but that mindset gets you nowhere in college. just because it's higher learning and you have more freedoms than you did in high school doesn't mean you can just defy the professor's orders and do whatever you want in the classroom. Any professor who cares the least big about a student texting just takes it as a slight to them because most college professors have a ridiculously overinflated ego.I think most professors are cool, actually. they're teaching us and giving us their time and respect. the very least we could do is not text while they're trying to do their job.

Why do you sound so butthurt defending these teachers/professors whatever you wanna call them. Guru said it best, most have egos and don't give a [expletive] about the student.

After the second time, he told me I got one more chance but then he e-mailed me saying he changed his mind and is now dropping me.still, you shouldn't have texted in class in the first place, and especially not after he gave you a warning. doing it in back to back classes after already getting a strike isn't a very smart move. we all make mistakes, I'm not saying you're not smart or anything, it was just a bad decision. Why do you sound so butthurt defending these teachers/professors whatever you wanna call them.lol I'm not 'butthurt' at all. I don't think extremely highly of professors, I just think they deserve to be respected by their students. like I said, if I was a professor and the same student was texting in my class all the time, I'd get pissed after awhile. Guru said it best, most have egos and don't give a [expletive] about the student.I think Flash said that lol. anyway, you're right about most of them not caring about their students, but can you really blame them? they have hundreds of different students each year. they don't have the time or energy needed to look after every one of them and try to be more than just a professor. their only job is to teach and if they're doing that, you can't really ask for much more. tl;dr thanks for involving yourself in a debate, then bothering not to even read the opposing argument. that's about as smart as thinking texting should be allowed during class. I'm not going to argue with you over something stupid like this.then why get involved in the debate in the first place? if you didn't want to argue about 'something stupid like this,' why would you even bother to post about it? And congrats, you've had atleast 20 teachers. Well I've had over 30 and graduate next year. Not really sure what the [expletive] you are trying to prove there so that is where I stopped reading.of course not, because you didn't even bother to read my post. if you're not even going to hear the argument, don't act like you're right.

fish7718 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've never been distracted by another student texting just saying.

trutrojan8 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 How do you get caught texting, let alone in back to back classes haha. I get on Facebook all the time during class and have never even gotten a warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 How do you get caught texting, let alone in back to back classes haha. I get on Facebook all the time during class and have never even gotten a warning.well it depends on class size and [expletive]. some of my classes there are only like 15 students, so the professor can pick out the people easily. most of my professors are pretty tough on the texting [expletive], but they only call you out on it if you're sitting there on your phone all class. If you send a text real quick during the entire class, they won't bother you or probably even see you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think the only way you get in trouble is if you are in a community college or a private college, because if you are going to a public university, there is no way there is a class small enough for the professor to even notice or give a [expletive] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Were you apologetic or defiant when he told you to stop texting?How about when he told you to leave the class, did you say anything?When he wrote you the e-mail saying you were out of his class, did you apologize? Ask for a second chance, ask back into the class? It's your future, so do what you want. But you'd likely be best served to get on the good side of all of your teachers, it will pay off.

I told him I was texting my mom checking on her because she was sick (has leukemia) and he told me he doesn't care and I didn't get the message from him when he moved my seat. But before he kicked me out, he said next time I'm going to drop you. I e-mailed apologizing, but then he said he changed his mind and is dropping me. Even though he sees others texting and talking, he singled me out. Basically, I'm [expletive]ed and he screwed me over. And I'm going to [expletive] his rating up on rate my professer.

If that's truly the case and you have other students in your class who'd back that up as your story, why not go speak to the Dean? Would probably be pointless to put you back in with that professor, but he might throw you in another section with a new professor... Still fairly early in the semester.

Still fairly early in the semester.The Dean said it's up to the teacher and she's sorry she can't do anything about it. I'm going to have my friend back me up, if not, I already asked if I can just switch teachers since the same class with another teacher has some empty spots. I doubt it will happen though.

The Truth Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ugh you are so damn stupid. -_- wow, resosrting to criticism because you're incapable of forming intelligent arguments? I wasn't expecting that at all from you. seriously bro, you're in your mid 20's or whatever, on here calling people stupid? grow up. What is the difference between a laptop and a phone these days? You can IM on your laptop, you can take notes on your phone.How does the teacher know you are texting and not taking notes? If they allow laptops, you have to allow phones.that's horrible logic. laptops are used mostly to follow along in class (take notes, get info online, etc). you could hypothetically do those things on your phone, but everyone knows most students would only use them mostly for texting. some of these college classes have hundreds of students. if you allowed texting, you'd have classes where literally 200-300 people are on their phone at the same time. you can't tell me that wouldn't be a distraction for some of the people in the class. If you don't allow laptops, you can encourage your students not to text but at the end of the day they will anyways. What college do you go to anyways?Crafton Hills Community College. IIRC he's at a community college, which would explain itwow, good one. some of the smartest people I know are in community college. people who got 4.0's and above in high school go there just so they can save money and figure out what they want to major in. everyone who goes to community college is an idiot is like the most pathetic misconception out there.
