Why are people texting their physics teacher?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 105 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the texting generation is old enough to have PhDs and thus old enough to be teachers.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

What else should they do? Write e-mail like a bunch of cave dwellers?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Or, even worse, PHONE CALLS?! 😬

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

✋ we don't do that here (earth)

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What kind of savage would do that?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My parents and other boomers 🤷

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago

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?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When will the world heal from their crimes?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When their crimes have caused the extinction of humankind.

Hmm. Maybe they're not so bad after all.

[–] StaticFalconar@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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?🤡🤡🤡

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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... 👉👈"

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Group Whatsapp i imagine

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they don't know enough physics to send a message via quantum entanglement. That's actually what they were texting them about.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 21 hours ago

or they know enough physics to know that quantum entanglement is physically impossible to use to send information.
