She Submitted A Written Complaint Against Her Professor Because She Couldn’t See How Else She Could Fix A Major Issue Going On In His Class
This 21-year-old girl is taking summer courses at the university that she attends. At her school, rules on cell phone usage in class are up to the professor to make.
While many professors let the students make those decisions for themselves, others will mark it down in their list of names, and the more a student uses their phone, the more it will negatively impact their grade in the class.
As a student, she doesn’t really care if her peers are using their phones because, most of the time, it’s not a distraction to her and her learning.
However, some professors of hers make a point to stop lecturing and call out any student who is using their phone during class time.
While some of them will quickly tell them to put their phone away, others will really spend the time to talk down on the student’s behavior.
“As this is a summer session, we already have a limited number of classes, and it’s difficult when this professor is stopping class every few minutes,” she explained.
Although she knows none of this would be happening if people just stopped using their phones in class, that is not the issue in her eyes.
What bothers her the most is professors who repeatedly stop teaching just to lecture a student about using their phone. She even tried to talk to her professor after class about this, but he didn’t give her the time of day.
One day, one of the usual phone users was on her phone in class yet again, and the professor dropped everything to tell her off.

After the student told the professor that she wasn’t going to put her phone away, the professor claimed that he wasn’t going to continue teaching until she did. At this point, she was super angry! They had wasted so much class time on students who likely didn’t want to pay attention, to begin with, and it was unfair to the students who actually came there to learn.
So, she spoke up about how much this was affecting their class time, and the professor told her to be mad at her peers who were using their phones.
“I said yes, maybe she shouldn’t be using her phone, but it’s not a distraction. This is the distraction,” she said.
Another one of her peers said that they were going to write a report to the head of the department about how much time class was being wasted by the professor, and she agreed.
The professor ended up kicking her, the cell phone user, and the reporter out of class that day. Afterward, she helped to write a letter to submit to the people above their professor, explaining how their class time was constantly being disrupted.
She’s shared this story with other people in her life, and while some think that she is definitely in the right, others think she should have just stayed quiet and let it go. At this point, she’s not sure what else she could have done to attempt to solve the problem.
“So genuinely, how does this get fixed outside going above him?” she asked.
What do you think she should do? Do you think calling her professor out and reporting him was the right move?
