[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a high school teacher. That ship sailed long ago. Even the best students do it. I’m not happy about it from a “future of humanity” perspective but teachers made their peace with this  pre pandemic. [/quote]

Gonna be rough for all those kids when they get to college or grad school with the "no laptops allowed in class" professors.[/quote]

That doesn’t happen. In college your learning is entirely on you. Those Professors do not care if you come, if you like the content, if you’re engaged. They’re teaching what and how they teach and it’s on the students to get it or not. In this sense we do high school kids a huge disservice because if they don’t learn or engage or do the default is “how did the teacher fail to grab them.” The reality is the best teacher still can’t compete with the phone. I swear some kids aren’t even consciously aware they’re picking it up and scrolling it. You call them out and they’re genuinely surprised. [/quote]
