at 47 I went back to college - took some courses in Theology. The school was wired for wifi - so I took advantage.....google is a wonderful thing when your teacher strays from accepted exegesis of the Texts - I often found myself smiling.

Instead - the teacher ought to encourage his students to find alternative opinions other than his own and discuss them robustly

Sounds like he'd rather teach "AT" than "TO"

...and I’ll add - if some college puke wants to surf during class - have at it...your grades will show it and with college being so damned expensive, I suspect mom and pop will read the riot act when he/she gets a 2.0 gpa

Does the student know the material at the end of the course?
Everything else is BS.
