I find it rude to not pay attention to someone who is trying to teach you a new lesson but you decide to talk to your friend instead. This was a major problem in my Pre-Cal class last year. Our teacher would ask us on how we thought the problem should be solved during notes but most of the class would either be talking to their friends or just ignoring her by sleeping. I sat closest to her so I, along with a few others nearby, would answer her and that was how the year began but eventually the others began to participate in the class discussion. Being an active listener is a major part of being attentive. Hearing someone speak is different than listening to someone speak because you can hear the words but not fully understand their meaning. Listening to the speaker gives you all of the information you need to make an informed decision. I like to have all or as much information that I can have before I make a decision or give advice to friends on a certain topic. By being very keen to details, I happen to be a quick learner and can handle an unscheduled change in plans relatively
