<p>I read your posting and asked my D about it as she is home this week for spring break. She is a junior and has noticed this herself. She takes notes on her laptop but does see people surfing or doing email from time to time in class. “Very obnoxious, Mom!” So it is not going unnoticed. I wonder how often this happens at other schools- including the most competitive, admissions-wise. I’m sure it happens in many places- perhaps a sign of the times.</p>
