    I guess coughing is more distracting than a teacher’s talking.

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

    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.

    Foxtrot has been around for decades – no wonder he’s still in high school…

    If I taught history, I’d show the AI movie of the eruption of Pompeii

    And this is why schools are locking phones up in metal lockers during the day.

    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>

    I’d 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 isn’t expected to exert himself or be good at anything but sports. And he is also bad at sports.

    Andi, he could’ve recorded the slideshow in order to sleep through it again while trying to do homework.

    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 ‘miserable.’ The class was conducted in 100% French – total immersion – and I relished the opportunity to use and practice the language so thoroughly. Years later I don’t remember the difference between Manet and Monet or just exactly what a “flying buttress” is – nor do I care any more now than I did then – but I am still grateful for having had the opportunity to so thoroughly immerse myself in a subject I loved.

    1) Schools still use slideshows?

    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, I’m good…case closed. Loved history, but the last good teacher I had was in 8th grade, sadly. Math hadn’t held my attention since 8th grade. (Algebra is the language of Satan and should be outlawed.) And I didn’t take P.E. in high school…I took Army JROTC and excelled in it. It was the only class I made straight ’A’s in all four years of high school.
