No because I always feel so bad for the professor. I notice people do it when we still have five minutes of class left too :(

If the class gets out at 3:00, I am only obligated to sit here until that time. You speaking past that is now disrespectful to my time.

My professor would always wait until the last 5 minutes to tell us the assignments so that anyone who was too busy packing wouldnt hear it and then fail the class for missed assignments simply bc they were rude.

If you had a class far away or needed to srep out earlier than normal, you are courteous and let the professor know before the class and sit close to the door so as to be respectful. It’s really not that difficult and people who refuse to do that are just lazy and selfish.

not everything is in the syllabus lol. info like if theyre changing rooms or exam dates/information or assignment due dates are important info a lot of professors talk about last minute so if they go over people are gonna miss it

dawg it is not that serious lol its genuinely annoying when people pack up loud af when the class is still going and if you take offense to that maybe just learn to pack a lil quieter before you go. and if class is over literally everyone agrees here that its valid to leave and the professors are the annoying ones for not respecting our time

no one cares if one person packs up early. its when EVERYONE joins in and is louder than the prof can talk (again when class time is still going!) stop taking everything so personal on an anonymous app

It's also different if you have a cane. There should be certain accomodations you can get and let the both professors know, tell one that you have to leave as soon as possible and tell the other that you might be a little late. There are rules in place to establish that this can't be used against you

It’s disrespectful that you can’t find the importance of them using their free time at that point to remind you of whatever the fuck you need to know for the next week. Patience isn’t valued these days. You don’t need to but it shows mad lack of discipline to not wait a minute.

In the work force it’s about being on time and staying on task. If you can’t do that for one extra minute of a teachers time then you probably don’t have the patience for the business world.

If you sign up for a class then don’t go, that’s on you. You already paid for it. But it’s a courtesy that you only use the time that is scheduled for it. We have lives, jobs, other classes that don’t revolve around “oh your TA is a fucking yapper, you’re free to be late!” As an excuse

I love how I still make the point that you set your schedule up like shit but somehow I’m wrong because I’m being disciplined. You don’t get a pass cause you have somewhere to be that’s just life.

It’s more the fact that I have an issue who lack the little bit of patience. Like they’re a teacher taking their time, I know they’re getting paid but quite frankly no one likes getting talked over or ignored. So yeah I’m accusatory but you’re also just being unaccountable for your actions. I get I’m being harsh but it’s the truth. It angers me that this many people feel like they deserve a free pass for anything when they do shit to themselves.

It’s like no different than the fact that people can’t go a full class with touching their phone. It’s that type of discipline that people lack which pisses me off. You really are that obsessed or you’re really that impatient.
