[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder what the anti cell phone contingent is going to blame next now that cell phones are gone. Going to be interesting when they wake up and realize all the problems didn't go away. [/quote] All the problems - no. A lot of them? Yes. As a teacher this is the best school year I’ve had since probably 2018. It makes a HUGE difference. [/quote] You know there were cell phones in 2018 right? [/quote] Of course I do, idiot. But a) TikTok had only JUST come out so it wasn’t as prevalent as it is now and b) the pandemic hadn’t happened so the shift of “your life is in your phone” hadn’t occurred. In the 2010s, kids would still have their phones away most of class because they didn’t use them in the same way they do now. Earbuds were wired so they didn’t just walk around with music constantly being pumped into their head the way they do now with AirPods that never come out. The culture and usage were completely different. Having the phones in the pouch all class makes for more engaged students, not only with each other, but with me, the teacher. Their work is better, and they see that too. And you think we should give that up so you can be up their butt texting them 24/7? Insane. [/quote]
