Is it normal to bring cell phones into classrooms?

If the prof doesn't give you the side-eye for having a phone that keeps going off during their lecture, other students will probably tell you to piss off.

I had a lecture a while back that had a strict no-phones rule, but there was this ass whose phone would go off every 5, 10 minutes or so. Prof didn't do anything about it as he sat pretty far back in the hall, but he definitely got a bunch of "Fuck you"s that semester.

Make sure it's on mute. I had one professor that would kick you out of class if your phone was heard and fail you if it was heard during an exam. He wasnt bullshitting either. I dont think it is morally acceptable to prevent someone from bringing a phone to class considering some student have children or others they care for and need to be contacted in the event of an emergency, but get it together and keep it muted.

Hell no!

It isn’t normal AT ALL!

I went into a classroom talking on my phone and the stupid teacher called the police! I mean talk about an overreaction!

Well turns out grown men aren’t allowed into preschools. Phone or not. They confiscated my phone looking for “evidence” or some such.

My court date is tomorrow..

Turn it off or better yet put it in flight mode. If I was a prof I would tell you to turn it off, hand it over or leave.

It's normal to have it with you but just mute it. If you get a call, excuse yourself and take it out of the room. If you are listening to music when the teacher isn't talking, use headphones. It's all about respecting the learning of those around you.

At the college my brother went to, it was a good way to get your ass kicked by the other college students. They're all shelling out money they don't have so they can have a chance of getting a good career, so things like that would piss them off.

Is it normal to bring your phone? Of course. Everyone does. Just put it on mute or vibrate and go about your day. Most people text during class to, but thats stupid. Im not paying $900 per credit hour to sit around on my phone. I need an education.

If your professor keeps hearing it go off, they'd just kick you out.

Probably ask you to turn off your phone, or leave class if you refuse to turn your phone off.

Call you out and if you're an student probably holding it untill the class is finished (if not longer)
