So basically, if someone is watching something in class on their laptop that you're so interested in you can't ignore it, then maybe YOU should leave class and go watch videos. I don't know. <br />Regardless, since this OP is saying that students who use laptops in class are too distracting for other students, it is suggesting that a rule should be made so no students can use laptops, which would just be ridiculous and unfair, so I am against this kind of complaining, considering the student can easily avoid this on his/her own by just switching seats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832236349540926420.post-19326822665665942152012-03-13T01:47:01.394-05:002012-03-13T01:47:01.394-05:00I agree to an extent,but I have to side with the w...I agree to an extent,but I have to side with the writer. its really not the same because when people cough etc. like u mentioned those distractions are only brief ones, but when someone is on the computer it is a constant distraction! Im sure that some people are able to ignore it supposedly maybe because they just don't care, but for the people that do it is hard to pay attention when people are watching videos online. Can you honestly say that when someone is next to you doing that you don't get distracted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832236349540926420.post-10706270324750636412012-03-13T01:29:39.643-05:002012-03-13T01:29:39.643-05:00BECAUSE THIS IS A CRITICALLY PISSED BLOG.....BECAUSE THIS IS A CRITICALLY PISSED BLOG.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832236349540926420.post-20221942293674419212012-03-12T15:01:17.995-05:002012-03-12T15:01:17.995-05:00pretty funnypretty funnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832236349540926420.post-6710738603383537722012-03-12T14:58:00.771-05:002012-03-12T14:58:00.771-05:00I'm reading this in my boring class right now ...I'm reading this in my boring class right now on my LappyLaptop.

I don't suppose you find it as distracting as when someone coughs, or a phone buzzes, or someone gets up to go to the bathroom, or someone comes in late, or someone is swiveling in their chair too much, or someone is tapping their foot, or... you get the point. Which is - lots of things can be distracting in class. Someone on their computer is one of the distractions I've faced many times and it is not difficult to mind my own business and watch the professor. If you can't ignore something like a youtube video that's going on in the corner of your eye, then why don't you just six next to someone else who is not playing videos on their laptop? Seriously. <br /><br />Do I think it's cool that people go to class and do nothing but look at irrelevant things online especially when they have the option to not attend? Of course not. Whoever does that is is a jackass. But I think it's tolerable. <br /><br />You know its complaints like yours that lead to stupid ass classroom rules, like a rule for the whole class to not use laptops. Which is BS if you ask me. Not that I even use a laptop in class. But holy cow aren't we adults here? <br /><br />_Peaches_Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
