Reminds me of a moment I read about from the pandemic days, when Zoom school was a thing. A kid turned around to retrieve the power cord for the laptop he was using and was immediately scolded to face the front. Mom, who nobody knew was listening in, called out “Sure, just let the computer die!” The teacher didn’t bother to find out WHY he turned around, just told him not to.
