Why are people texting their physics teacher?

[–] [email protected] 112 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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"?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Or, even worse, PHONE CALLS?! 😬

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

✋ we don't do that here (earth)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What kind of savage would do that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My parents and other boomers 🤷

When will the world heal from their crimes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When their crimes have caused the extinction of humankind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?🤡🤡🤡

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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... 👉👈"

Group Whatsapp i imagine

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

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