One student took a box of chicken to class. Another carried a cell phone
co-nversation, and still another whistled loudly every time the professor turned
his back.
Reform school? Nope. College.
More and more, professors say they are encountering rude students in their
classroom. Many of today's young scholars arrive late, leave early, talk
loudlyor take care of personal business such as paying bills during class.
Why are the students behaving badly?
"Because they can,"said Michael Zamora, a University of North Texas
sophomore. "A lot of the time, the professors let them get away with it."
Some educators say it's time to reclaim civility in their classrooms-and
even start taking some of the blame for bad behavior. They say that rude
students are by no means the majority but that one unrudly student can ruin an
entire class.
"There's a great deal of mischief going on in the world around them,and
young people see it and develop disrespect,"said Dr. Amada, adding that
somrtimes students "aren't even aware they are being rude.
Customers on campus
Professors attribute part of the problem to students with short attention
spans who expert to be entertained; if they're not having fun, they get angry
and disruptive .Educatora also say they are seeing more customer-oriented
students, those who come to college expecting to be catered to.
A lot of students feel they can come to class whenever they feel like it
and do whatever they want because they 're paying tuition, said Dr. Stacey
Jurhree,"I remind them that when I buy a movie ticket, I don't have the right to
go into the theater and turn on my radio.”
