More and more schools are finding ways to keep phones out of classrooms, and it has been good for grades, standardized test scores, and behavior. Shocking.
I was an instructor at a nuclear plant and the go to guy for IT stuff. A coworker asked if we could remove the thirty minute timeout cuz his screen kept blanking out while teaching. I suggested that he had bigger issues if he kept the same screen up that long>
Poor baby. I went to school when there was no such thing as a cellphone. And it was a college-level French seminar where we looked at slides of French castles and paintings day after day after day. (However, while more interesting material would have made it a lot better, I was far from âmiserable.â The class was conducted in 100% French â total immersion â and I relished the opportunity to use and practice the language so thoroughly. Years later I donât remember the difference between Manet and Monet or just exactly what a âflying buttressâ is â nor do I care any more now than I did then â but I am still grateful for having had the opportunity to so thoroughly immerse myself in a subject I loved.
Also, history was one of the few subjects that kept my attention in school. Science was either-or. English? I know how to speak it, Iâm goodâŠcase closed. Loved history, but the last good teacher I had was in 8th grade, sadly. Math hadnât held my attention since 8th grade. (Algebra is the language of Satan and should be outlawed.) And I didnât take P.E. in high schoolâŠI took Army JROTC and excelled in it. It was the only class I made straight âAâs in all four years of high school.

I suspect Peter will be saying the following phrase a year after he leaves high school: âWould you like fries with that?â

Iâd be grateful for the visuals. Classes where the teacher just talked at us were the worst.

It is funny because as a teen-aged male he isnât expected to exert himself or be good at anything but sports. And he is also bad at sports.
