Facebook use lowers grades

An interesting article on MSN.com. I'm thinking about incorporating some of this info into the excellent BS that Academic Monkey suggested I tell my laptop student. Actual research backup!!

Facebook use can lower grades by 20%, study says

What Was This?

College Misery was a dysfunctional group blog where professors got the chance to release some of the frustration that built up while tending to student snowflakes, helicopter parents, money mad Deans, envious colleagues, and churlish chairpeople.

Our parent site, Rate Your Students, started in 2005, and we continued that mission beginning in 2010. Ben at Academic Water Torture and Kimmie at The Apoplectic Mizery Maker both ran support blogs during periods when this blog had died.

It began June 24th, 2010, and closed for good on December 20th, 2016.
