One time I was teaching my swim class, kids aged around 8-9 years old. One of the little girls mothers kept coming over to the edge of the pool with a towel and her cell phone in hand. She allowed her daughter to dry her hands and then respond to a text message. She did this about twice before I told her to please wait until the end of the lesson. Un-freaking-believable.
I've noticed that on campus too at Tech. During my Poli-Sci class one guy answered his phone twice during lecture and kept talking before he walked out to finish his call. After class I called him out on it, (he was in my group for our final project) and said it was very rude. He responded that it was just his ringer so he could leave class. Whatever, if you don't want to respect your teacher stay home or out of the library.
