10 Questions I Have For Students On Their Phones In Class

As much as I am attached to my phone, I know when to put my phone away and do something else, like when I go to class. Although I don't judge people for being on their phones (okay, maybe I do), I just have some questions for those people. Of course, I understand that there are some emergency cases that you will need to have your phone out but besides those, I am utterly confused. These are just questions, and although they may sound critical, I do not mean to be offensive.


1. Why are you on your phone?

2. What's that important that you need to be on your phone all the time?

3. How do you not get caught?

4. Are you really getting your money's worth of your tuition if you spend class on your phone?

5. Are you still paying attention to the class or just paying attention to your phone?

6. Aren't the other people you are messaging in class as well?

7. Are you encouraging other people to be on their phones in class because you are?

8. Have you ever been told to not be on your phone before?

9. What do you do on your phone the whole time?

10. How did you come up with all these ways to hide your phone?


And although I do occasionally get bored in class, I still cannot wrap my head around that someone would come to class and only be on their phone the whole time. Not only is that person not getting the value of the education they are paying for, others may not as well. Another student could see that a student is not getting in trouble or yelled at for being on their phone and do the same. Or another student could see that student on their phone and be distracted by that person on their phone. I also just don't understand the appeal or real need for someone to be on their phone the whole class. From what I have noticed and others have told me, this is not just a rare occurrence and happens in most of my classes. Although I do come off as being critical, I am ultimately just incredibly confused by the whole matter.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
