Top ten reasons to walk out of a class

Some scenarios in which you might want to give the term ‘class revolt’ a new meaning

1. The classroom only has those weird metal chairs with three square inches of built-in desk space.
2. The professor’s slideshow images all have 12 fingers and have clearly been generated by Midjourney.
3. Someone behind you is loudly and messily breaking up with their boyfriend of two weeks.
4. The person in front of you is failing at the Wordle in an unimaginably annoying fashion.
5. The professor starts the lecture on X topic with a slide reading “What is X topic? Scholars disagree.”
6. You are placed in a discussion group with five people who clearly have not done the reading.
7. The professor’s pre-class playlist is horrendously grating.
8. There was a faculty breakfast in the next room over and the whole lecture hall smells noticeably of bacon grease.
9. You’re paired in a group project with the person who spends all of class asking ChatGPT what they should do after they graduate.
10. You just want to, for no particular reason. Live free! Revolt against the idea that you should spend time in the classes you paid for! You have nothing to lose but your education!
