Some of my students spend more studious time on Snapchat or Facebook editing their swimsuit pictures than they do on their academic progress.
I have several students who are missing one speech from this term --- and who will get a C rather than an A because of it -- who talk constantly before class about their picture posts on social media. One student was so proud of her bikini shot on the beach this week (exam week) than she was of anything else ("Finally my buns look toned and tan!!!!") These students are insultingly shallow and will likely stay that way since they haven't gotten the message -- any message for that matter -- about responsibility, growth, focus, etc.
I have now sent emails to them informing them of their situation -- which I am sure they will not read, alas.
