Are students the way they are because the system does it to them?
I have noticed that professors, put in the position of students, will ask silly questions, refuse to venture answers to even simple questions, and check email on their phones.

Yes, indeed. Also, we don’t answer questions because although we know we ourselves are kind to students and simple questions, we don’t trust that our colleagues won’t respond with withering sarcasm if we ask one.
“We,” as in all faculty, or maybe just me and Queen Victoria.
