Perhaps if students were actually forced to listen in class (or at least to not actively ignore), they’d end up taking more classes they find legitimately interesting, and embracing the sort of vulnerability that comes with making eye contact with a professor and with peers.
I played games on my gaming laptop in college because I already knew the course material. My flavor of neurodivergence also makes it easier to listen if I have something visual to focus on, but I was just there to get a paper that said I know what I know. Kinda interesting to me that people are so riled up about what others are doing in class when it’s not always disruptive though.
