Real simple solution. My policy is that a laptop may not be used in class unless I give explicit directions to bring it to class that day. I give a power point and remind them about pencils and pens. Case closed. They may not pay attention to me but at least they are not paying attention to the laptop.
John said, “College is an utter waste of time and money for 90% of students anyway. Unless one is becoming a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer, college is wholly unnecessary.How much of what you learned in college do you really, I mean *really*, use?”
John, you are correct. That’s one of the many reasons they don’t pay attention to me.
