How cocky do you have to be as a teacher than you think your class means so-damned-much that you can destroy another person's property?

If someone wants to waste their own time and not pay attention, then let them. If someone wants to waste their own time (and in this case, other's time) then ask them to leave.

Physical violence or physical destruction of property? Oookkay, prepare yourself for a lawsuit.

I've had a student answer his phone and I asked him to leave. That's the MATURE thing. He needs to get over himself and realize his class isn't the end of the world - what an ass.
I'm not endorsing his behavior, but I do find it amusing and understand the urge.

I ask students using cell phones to leave class. And by "ask" I mean "tell".

What do you teach?
