Of course, we might want to dig deeper on that question. OK, so teaching an uninterested group of people does affect the teacher - why are those people uninterested in the first place? If they are uninterested, do they have the option to not attend?
- intended 12y agoSo one aspect is that it's similar to how people,were disinterested in classes earlier, but with a slight bump because of the stronger engagement to games designed to be skinner boxes, or the impact of constant engagement. But I'll Assume that it's still only a minor effect. The part which would bug me is someone using a laptop or device to visibly do something else in class- because it's just far more visible and distracting.

- groby_b 12y agoI don't disagree. I'm saying that this is not an issue of civility, but of misaligned incentives.
