      I’m a teacher in the USA. Cell phones are the worst thing to happen to education, period.

          Wut.? I didn’t hear you I was not paying attention. I WAS paying attention because this helps me focus. I was listening to music and shopping online and playing cookie 🍪 clicker and texting my mom because someone just died and do you mind and I was paying attention!!! But could you repeat the entire thing you were just saying as though I didn’t hear anything you said??? I paid attention but somehow I don’t understand…

            Ha, that’s fairly close. Except my students are 19 to 25 and play Suika Game on their MacBook Pros. We keep a journal of what we taught and said each day because when the he exam comes they complain the content wasn’t taught in class, then they give bad evaluations to the prof and leave comments like, “the professor should be more strict with computers and phones in class.”

            No phones / No computers is my only rule!

            They’re excuse is, “I’m taking notes! I didn’t spend €1200 on this to leave it in my backpack!”
