The class was full of noisy and inattentive children. When the schoolchildren became disruptive, the teacher simply continued teaching as if nothing had happened; she said to me aside: “It's their loss if they don't pay attention to the lesson… I'm not going to stop the lesson just because of two or three children. These academics are an interruption to other students who are actually paying attention and trying to learn; Mrs. Stone could have sent them into the hall to distract themselves. If schoolchildren were verbally preoccupied, they were technologically distracted. Some students were playing games on their iPads and distracting some other students. The grades were so bad that Ms. Stone had to throw out the quizzes and invite the class to do a "pop quiz" with the same material for the next day. My anticipation of classroom lessons was also incorrect; homework was submitted online, class notes were delivered and completed to students via the teacher, and the assignment was online for completion and submission online. Learners accessed the required homework AND textbook online using the school-provided iPad. Only a handful of students were willing to take on the math challenge in this class, and those students were sophomores.
