When it comes to being rude, disrespectful, or abusive to their professors, students appear most likely to take aim at women, the young, and the inexperienced, a new study has found.Huh.
Naturally, it was only a matter of time before "Well, women are known to be oversensitive hysterics!" raised its ugly head.
Given the universal nature of some of the student behaviors examined, such as dozing off in class, it may be fair to ask whether some faculty members were just more inclined than others to have let student incivility roll off of them and not recall it or see it as worth reporting.Sigh.
I'm curious about what role race played in these findings, or if that wasn't examined (and if not, why not).
