Enough with this crap. They're students. I'm a teacher. It's my job. They're not only hurting themselves, they're hurting my job performance and my authority. Just because you paid to go to school that doesn't mean you're allowed to do whatever you want there. Especially if you're just a T.A., it is not good for you to just have a ton of students fail. It's their fault, but it's my responsibility.


your "authority", it's a college class, not high school or middle school. Are you kidding me? I've never seen any college teacher, TA or otherwise, have any real problem with authority. And to say everyone is going to fail because a few people are screwing around on laptops is silly. The people who care will do well, the people who don't probably won't. Although generally, in a small classroom, I almost never see anyone screwing around unless the teacher/class is incredibly terrible.

I just find it funny how your viewpoint is PEOPLE NEED TO DO WELL, yet they only are allowed to do well your way. I thought teachers were supposed to understand how certain people learn better in different ways?
