There is little argument that attending business school is an expensive endeavor. Based on students eagerness to engage in childhood games such as hide and seek, it seems that it may simply be lip service to justify a myopic pursuit of the almighty dollar.
Students complain when a recruiter misses just one word they have to say.
It would be a rather callous and rude thing to do to an interviewee. It is a little different than being in class, to be sure, but consider a professor s point of view. Yet, when they look up to drive a point home all they see are blank computer covers. Attending class and hiding behind a laptop is a fairly explicit statement of how much value students place on the classroom experience and a professor s efforts to prepare a syllabus worth its weight in tuition. Ultimately it is not fair to professors and classmates who at least feign engagement in the material being presented.
