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.

Then you’d know immediately, and can make other plans or tell them no and not have them be super pissy at you for a week for forcing them to cancel their plans to do chores.

I mean for fucksake, my friend’s 15 year old knows he can’t make plans without checking with mom, even just as a courtesy. Raise a good kid and it’s not a problem, just don’t let them do whatever the fuck they want?
