According to Molly Worthen students are not being professional in the classroom and it is leading to a declining relationship between the professor and students. She references her experiences along with other professors who have received emails that are written like text messages and not as one would expect from a professional environment.  She states that this is not related to privilege as students from the wealthy and poor backgrounds are guilty of this. The article also mentions that the proper etiquette is not new but is also not very old as in 1834 the sophomore class at Harvard vandalized and harassed a professor. After being punished by the principal the junior class retaliated by burning effigies of the principal.
