    I am shocked they allowed them in school tbh. They were not allowed at school for millennials. Granted phones were new but all the flip phones and such were not allowed at schools.

      I was super shocked when I saw kids using their phones and laptops in class. When I was in school, the moment your phone went off it was confiscated and you had to pay to get it back at the end of the day. It created this culture amongst the kids that no matter who you were, if your phone went off, people will have coughing fits and make noise to cover it up. Super funny every time it happened too.

      Born on Europe on 1985. We never had a ban on phones (later “feature phones”). We couldn’t use them in class, same as the game boy, a comic or a Walkman.

      Now schools force Chromebooks/ewaste with laughable restrictions.

    How were they ever allowed?

    I was in school from the transition from no mobiles at all to smart phones. If you got caught with one it was whipped off you.
