A professor, sick of her students playing on their phones all class, confiscated three of her students’ smart phones and threw them out the third floor window. The phones, which included two iPhone 6S Pluses, were cracked beyond repair from the fall.
Xiao Lin (pseudonym) a journalism major at the university, told the story to the media. In an afternoon sociology class of over 100 students, a number of students were on their phones after class had started. The professor walked over to three girls on their phones and confiscated the devices.
“The teacher had made it clear before that we were not allowed to play with phones during class. The girls thought that they would just get their phones back at the end of class, and that it did not matter that much,” said Xiao Lin. However, instead, the professor opened the window and threw the three phones out from the third floor classroom.
The entire class was shocked, and all put their phones away at once. “During the lesson, no one dared look at their mobile phone,” said Xiao Lin.
After class, the students ran to the first floor to look for the phones. They were found on the ground floor in the flower bed. However, the screens of the phones had been smashed beyond repair and the phones would not turn on.
After throwing the phone, the professor told the students that they should open their eyes to experience the real world instead of constantly indulging in the mobile world.
