So, on to the specifics of this post. Ending a lesson. The thing is, on a bunch of TV shows (namely American-made ones), the characters all rush out of the room before the teacher has finished speaking when the bell signals the end of the lesson. This might seem cool in a 'Yeah, you can't tell me when to leave!' kind of way but it's really not. As much as I'm not for the whole 'do as you're told, slave!' thing, if you are already in a school/college then you are, by virtue of your presence, doing what you're told. The only people who have the right to insubordination at that point in time aren't even in the classroom. They're out the back, smoking behind the bins. Now, that poses a problem concerning the way that you demonstrate your rebellion but that's an issue for another time.
Therefore, when you're in a lesson, wait until the teacher has finished speaking. They might not want to be their either but they have to be if they want to eat every day. So, show them some courtesy and just wait.
