Do you expect your students to always look at you when you’re talking? Some of my teachers do this to me, and it really causes my anxeity to flare. I get it’s a respect thing, but I get uncomfortable when I have to stare at someone.

No, I do not.  As long as they aren’t looking at their phones that is all I care about.  They could be taking notes, or finding their own way to listen intently.
