SO embarrassing! i say he could have just let you off the hook - you're paying for his paycheck, after all! no need to be a dick about it.

But college? Students are basically adults at this point, and they are paying for their tuition hours. Therefore, students should have the right to dictate how they spend their time in class.<br /><br />Sure, being on Twitter and Blogger during class aren't the smartest things do to... but who isn't guilty of doing that? I know I sure am!<br /><br />It sounds like your teacher is just a jerkface who enjoys calling out newer students who he KNOWS will be bothered by it, and then watching them squirm. Not fair.<br /><br />Sorry you had this experience! I know I'd be super embarrassed, as well.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339476869833522456noreply@blogger.com
