Class assignment

My teacher told us to text or email while she reads something to test how well we can multitask as so many students claim to be able to do. Honestly, there is a reason I don't have my phone out in class, I need to be able to completely focus on something or I am unable to absorb it. I have no idea what she is reading but she's done now. Interesting, never had a teacher tell us to not really pay attention in class!
