There are sweet wrappers and food containers hidden under the desks. The students must be eating in class. - Teacher X who teaches quantum physics to 3E1 on the state of the classroom every time he goes in for lessons.

But as with all other students, the 3E1 students tend to misbehave in class. They can get a little noisy even when the teacher is talking. Also, many students like to change their seats so that they can be with their friends.” - Teacher Y commenting on her microbiology lessons with 3E1.
