Professor Thomas, I am very sorry about my recent incident in your class. It was wrong of me to browse Facebook while you were lecturing, and though I displayed a bit of a flippant attitude at the time, I can now understand what you meant when you talked about it being disrespectful and a waste of your time. I’m in school to learn. Obviously, we all get bored, but that’s hardly ever an issue in your class. Even if it were, I should have known better than to not pay attention. I’ve always enjoyed your teaching style and the class’s topics, so that’s kind of doubly embarrassing for me. By the same token, you’re there to teach. I’m sure seeing me browsing Facebooks instead of taking notes had to annoy you a little, since I try to be a good student. It was an impulsive, dumb move of me. Finally, I forget exactly what I said—probably “whatever” or something disrespectful like that—but it’s not the attitude I wish to convey to you. I was irritated about being embarrassed and embarrassed because I was caught. Thanks again for being okay with it the next day. I just wanted to let you know I was personally sorry for my stupid behavior. It won’t be an issue again. Sincerely, David
