Just think. At least you can sell off those nick-nacks. What value is there in digital goods you don’t want?

It used to be a white cat.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say my opinion is better than anyone else’s, it just an experience that suits the context of the life I’m living now. There are definitely schools out there where the learning culture probably couldn’t handle it.

Again, if they’re doing individual work with headphones in, and they’re clearly being productive, I don’t see a problem with it. If they’re doing it while I’m actively trying to teach, that would be a problem.

It doesn’t make a difference. They’ll enshitify that service to hell whether you subscribe or you don’t.

Just wait for the enshitication. Once they have a stranglehold on the gaming industry, that’s when the prices go up and the benefits go down.

I actually sometimes ask my students to use their phones to produce presentations and such (AI permitted). I just think the rule needs to be no phones in sight otherwise, and the phone stays if you go to the bathroom.

Yep. I totally agree. Hopefully I’ll find a school that does pay me for planning time eventually,

Thanks. It’s motivating to hear that.

I think she learned the lesson on her own on that one. No need to rub salt on the wound.

Furthermore, at their level, they already assume that they’re hopeless. I don’t want to reinforce that idea and discourage them from reproaching the subject later on. We’re talking about a lower vs mid elementary proficiency rating here, so no one’s life is changing.

Look up Monty python black knight on YouTube and watch the sketch.

Do you have a suggestion?
