In California, a high school teacher complains that students watch Netflix on their phones during class. In Maryland, a chemistry teacher says students use gambling apps to place bets during the school day.
Around the country, educators say students routinely send Snapchat messages in class, listen to music and shop online, among countless other examples of how smartphones distract from teaching and learning.
The hold that phones have on adolescents in America today is well-documented, but teachers say parents are often not aware to what extent students use them inside the classroom. And increasingly, educators and experts are speaking with one voice on the question of how to handle it: Ban phones during classes.
I think there are a few reasons
We all use cellphones in the real world, so it’s important kids do in school so they’re not at a disadvantage.
It’s how the parents stay in contact with their kids. If they text their children they don’t want to wait till school is over for the response.
It lets the parents spy on the kids (If my tamagotchi alerted my mother every time I tried to masturbate, she’d probably insist I keep it on me at all times).
It’s good for a distraction and keeps kids from acting out in class due to boredom.
That’s weird man, why would your mum want to know when you wank?

I wouldn’t say most Americans. Maybe just like half, at the most. It really just depends on the region. There are plenty of people here that think that shit is just as weird and creepy as you do.
