You Read The Textbook, That’s Nice

2008_10_02classroom.jpg
If you have attended any institute of higher learning, it is inevitable that you’ve endured a lecture with an overeager student ready to voice their opinion every five seconds. While full engagement in class stimulates healthy debate and knowledge exchange, some people take it to extreme lengths. Whether it be incessant stories about obscure 16th century musical instruments illustrated in a textbook, the opportunity to turn a discussion on grammar into a stump speech for pet political causes, or allowing their enthusiasm to overwhelm the discussion at the expense of others, these students cause the rest of the class to shoot silent daggers from their eyes.
While the traditional reaction has been to grumble briefly outside of class, the modern miracle of Craigslist allows long-suffering students in the city a forum to vent their frustration with annoying classmates to the rest of the world. Just as political candidates are learning the hard way that what goes on the web lasts forever, those who pollute the classroom air may think twice about hogging the spotlight.
