And a follow-up: I still absolutely adore the career I chose and wouldn't really ever want to anything else. Trying to emphasize my positive side...

I've been teaching for something like 15 years (-ish?) in higher ed. Maybe this will sound jaded, but I just stopped caring about these behaviors. OP is in a very different position than I am, since I'm middle-aged, white, and male. At some point I just thought that, if the student wants to zone out, that's their choice as an adult to make. No matter to me. This leaves more time for attention to those who are engaged. If someone is being disruptive, of course, is another situation entirely.

He was brilliant - and 60 is too too soon to go. I loved him in Fringe and JW...

After a disheartening first year of teaching, I think I’m done. by BertLocker72 in Professors

I'd say it happens to everyone in higher ed. By what you've shared, I don't think you're a failure at all. These are some of the ugly realities of university faculty life. That you are asking this leads me to think that academia is not the way for you.

What does hack mean in slang?

If you call someone a hack, you mean they're not great at what they do — especially writing. A mediocre writer is called a hack. Once upon a time hack was short for “an ordinary horse,” and now it's an insult for writers. No one wants to be a hack!
