Why are people texting their physics teacher?
Because the texting generation is old enough to have PhDs and thus old enough to be teachers.
Even my professor in his 50s says we can text him if we are going to be absent from class. Like hell nah man I’m gonna email you.
What else should they do? Write e-mail like a bunch of cave dwellers?
Or, even worse, PHONE CALLS?! 😬
What kind of savage would do that?
My parents and other boomers 🤷
When will the world heal from their crimes?
When their crimes have caused the extinction of humankind.
Hmm. Maybe they’re not so bad after all.
I won’t speak for everyone, but the one Gen Z in my extended family calls me when he wants to talk to me. Might be coming back?
✋ we don’t do that here (earth)
Go up and talk to them? Why would a child even have a teacher’s phone number?
Or is OP using “teacher” to mean “university lecturer”?
Yell me you are old and out of touch with modern schools without telling me you are old and out of touch with modern schools.
Modern meaning American?
All communication with professors has to be official over here to prevent abuse. Phone messages don’t leave a trail that can be investigated, emails do.
Plus I’m pretty sure you could insist on getting a phone number from your university if you didn’t want to share yours with them or if you didn’t even have one, for some reason. That would just lead to an enormous hassle for the university over here, it’s easier to just give every student an email address.

Wat?🤡🤡🤡
Well, at least not in the same way as email with a centralized server.
Unlike email, most modern messaging services are end-to-end encrypted. If an abusive professor manages to manipulate their victim into deleting the messages (and does so as well) it’s nigh impossible to verify accusations. With email, the university’s email server keeps them stored and visible.
Unencrypted messaging poses severe privacy risks since - you know - the messaging service can read every single message.
Usually I am all for encryption, though for official communication I don’t think it’s the best idea. It does have the minor drawback that particularly sensitive information isn’t sent (such as exam scores) but you can just check them on the university’s web portal anyways.
“oops I just sent a dick pic gallery to the whole faculty in the 800 building 😳 I hope they won’t call me in for a group meeting tonight to reprimand me… unless… 👉👈”
Group Whatsapp i imagine

Fucking Physics? I didn’t know that’s a subject!
That course really made me appreciate the pile driver.
Astolfo oughta teach you
What’s that from? What’s the joke?
It’s a mashup of Neco Arc from the tsukihime series, and of Astolfo from the fate series.
It’s funny because it’s anime and because Astolfo is a femboy
That looks like the character from that meme where the cat is driving the car singing an annoying song and someone that looks like death is sitting in the passenger set quitely.
Catstolfo
It’s ghost from call of duty
what a cool teacher!
You sure they don’t teach computer science on the side?
How did he get pictures of my wife

So if we’re not standing for it, are we like… Kneeling for it? bending over for it?

Mixed with Neco Arc https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Neco-Arc
