    I’m kind of amazed with reading this, really.

    No, kids don’t need phones. Do you think that after school activities didn’t exist thirty years ago? They did and omg, nobody had cell phones so yeah, so ma y kids disappeared and died because of that and of course nothing like that happened because you plan that stuff ahead and worst case, a student can ask the teacher or some central ooi t where all cellphones are kept to make a quick important call.

    Same thing also goes for head sets. How the heck do you think we did that thirty years ago? Hint: we simply didn’t because it wasn’t a thing, it didn’t exist. Walkmans barely came into existence and you could wear one outside class, all fine, but I side classes you’re there to learn, not to listen to your favorite music or podcast or influencers.

    Id I’d have to allow headsets in class I’d refuse to teach. I’m not there to dick around or wsste my time, I’m there to teach and you’re there to learn, not to play or dick around
