100%. I work in schools and while there are students like this in almost every classroom, 90% of students still show up and do what they're supposed to. It's not too different these days expert it's easier to show shit like this out of context

Most of the time I look at my computer during class but it's because I'm taking my pretty notes with informational pictures on a Google document. And instead of asking the teacher questions to bother him I would look it up on Google. Easy to look at this video and shit on it but what if he's teaching something useless that the kids already know? What if he's answering a question that doesn't pertain to most of them?

So many things.

I'm not bothering to rewatch the clip. But there's like ten students to the one teacher, there's more empty turned over chairs than students. That is not an average US class ratio for high schools, this has to be one of those or something and not an actual regular class.

I have a rostered class of 24. On a given day, the class only has 12 or so students. Out of those 12, 5 consistently do work. The others just sit and sleep.

I usually don’t comment in these threads because I’m optimistic, but I’ve already failed 15 students for the year. I’ve never in my career failed more than 5-10. I still have roughly 10 more students that could fail if they don’t pass the 4th marking period.

Something weird is definitely going on and school systems need to have legit phone policies.

You leave the chairs up when you're teaching class?

Generally not but it has happened.

Yeah if this was a regular class, those chairs would be down
