Do they ever call out students in front of class to go and pay their

[deleted]

This scene would never happen.

I was in a summer class where the teacher was checking everyone to make sure they were eligible for the class and a few weren't, so he told them to go check it out.

The only thing that would happen even remotely like that is after attendance is taken (if it is) during the fist class session, if your name wasn't called then the Prof will say to either come up to see him/her right after attendance is taken or after class. Then he/she will just ask something like: "I don't have you on the class list, are you registered for the class?" and the person will have to prove he/she is registered (many register late or were omitted by mistake) to 1) receive credit 2) attend the rest of the class sessions (although, especially in large lecture halls, many people sit in for others or even come to see a particularly popular lecturer for self edification as the Prof never takes attendance and only knows many a handful of students by name).

They never did it in my college either. But then again I am european so I have almost free tuition and an extensive scholarship program. In my college, teachers teach, they are not in charge of handling bureaucratic issues, that is with the administrative services.

When I first saw it in the movie I thought it was awful but I always struggle hard to digest you american way of things, so I just thought it was me being overly sensitive...lol

If your name was not on the registrar list, you needed to get a slip from the office to show that you signed up and paid for the class. They would let you stay for the first class, however, you could not return to attend the 2nd class without the required paperwork.

Whats so stupid about it, childish?

All Professor Fipps did was alert them of what needed to be taken care of at the administration department, its not like he was reading results of an HIV test.
