How does facebook in class affect the way students perform. Well it hurts us no matter what. In class the teacher makes his/her main points. Usually this information will be on a test or final exam. In any class with a teacher who allows their students to have their computers up, more than half the students will be on facebook. The worst thing is that students don't care if the teachers know. I have seen myself as a teacher was lecturing half the class was on facebook. I was sitting behind everyone that is how I know this. I understand some people are good and can do that and still pass the class by reading the book. A lot of other kids are not that fortunate and struggle in class. They do not think the computer is the problem they think it is the teachers fault.
