The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers
being distracted or using phones in classes
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Teachers in Australia think like this:
It is good if students know what is happening in the classroom. It is good if all students can hear what is happening. It is good if all students can see what is happening. It is good if students want to hear everything. It is good if students want to see everything.
Because of this, the teacher wants all the students to do some things.
It is bad if a student is doing something else during that time.
