13No, it is not entertaining, it is embarrassing. You should not try to embarrass people.– yo'Commented Oct 23, 2015 at 17:06

13Yeah seriously. This is just a teacher on a power trip trying to shame people like if they were in kindergarten. It's bad of them to chit-chat while a teacher talks, but that's no reason to treat them like kids passing around notes in class.– PatriceCommented Oct 23, 2015 at 19:35

14This is also disrespectful for the students who want to learn, went to a lecture, and got a circus instead. Don't waste their time.– DavidmhCommented Oct 23, 2015 at 20:00

1Perfectly fine response, but only do it if they're clearly disrupting the class. It's not rude in that case.– BonsaiOakCommented Oct 25, 2015 at 0:50

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
