YOUR COLLEGE DOLLARS AT WORK

At the University of Michigan, teacher Meg Veitch had graduate students sit in the back of her class to see what her students were really looking at on their laptop screens during their EARTH 222/ENVIRON 232 classes. Here’s what she found:
– Looking at Chipotle menu
– ESPN
– Looking up Hamilton tickets
– IMing – breaking up with boyfriend
– Buying makeup
– Pornography
– Facebook
– Amazon
– Reddit
– Tumbler
– Looking at pictures of themselves in suits
– Cooking show
– Chinese rap videos
– Buying $240 worth of turtlenecks
– Looking at pics of sliced bread
– Photoshopping President Trump onto Muppets
– Watching baseball/basketball/golf
– Taking selfies
– Playing Mortal Kombat
– Playing racing game
– Cat videos
– Watching Planet Earth 2
* Well, maybe if your LECTURES were a little bit more INTERESTING …
* There are pictures of sliced bread on the internet? Where? WHERE???
* I’m shocked! Nobody was on their phone?
* Sounds like she’s going to have to grade them on a curve.
* Students immediately called for her to be fired, claiming she invaded their personal space.
* Are turtlenecks still really a thing?
* How come this woman doesn’t have a job with the NSA?
* There’s the Jeff Foxworthy-type riff for this: “How do you know your teacher is boring?”
* Answer: Instead of paying attention to her, you’re watching Chinese rap videos.
* Nice of the graduate students to act as willing little spies for her.
