Time to be Observant

While walking around campus, being in practice and study hall all day yesterday I realized a lot of things about what students do with their time  and also alot of things I do as well. Walking around campus people are walking to class and most of them have either headphones in listening to music or texting or calling someone of their phones. Their is always going to be people talking face to face but only if they are freinds they rarely stop to communicate face to face with a random stranger. In class I do it myself but students will get bored of the lesson and take quick peaks at their phone to text someone or to go on facebook and twitter. They are so addicted to the feeling of "oh maybe someone messgaed me or I wonder what is happening with my friends today." Rarely are students so engrossed in a lesson that that they forget about their phones.A specific example of this happened yesterday, in study hall. My coach decided to lecture one of my buddies about his phone. My buddy is struggling in english and the teacher doesnt like him. My coach says to him "No wonder your teacher doesntlike you, you so her no respect. You always are on your phone texting or looking at something never focused on her. I caught you today I would look at you and you would act like you were doing work then id turn and you would go back to texting. Students and my self need to be more in tune in what his happening in class and the world around them.
