I often see human suffering. This happens during my classes. I usually ask students not to use their cell phones in a classroom. And then the suffering begins! Sometimes they last 15 minutes, and sometimes 10 or 5 minutes, and some do not last even 2 minutes. In short, the suffering stops when the student gets to his or her mobile phone and manages to look at something there. Then, I feel, a real buzz pilings on him or her! But the suffering of the students begins again when I ask again to stop using mobile phones.
It is painful to see how young people suffer. But one day I received a compliment when I repeatedly reminded them not to look at mobile phones.
– Well, can’t you sit for at least an hour without a phone?! I exclaimed.
– Oh, teacher, if you knew that only in your classes I can withstand the absence of my mobile phone for half an hour, – said the student, hiding his eyes. – And that’s because you have a lot of games. As it is, I usually look at my mobile phone every two or three minutes.
“Hmm,” I said, and began to think about whether to give this student an A or be even more strict regarding mobile phones. And then, suddenly, I looked at my mobile phone. Oops. Sorry guys.
