OP take a look back at this in about 5-10 years and realize how monumentally ignorant it is.
I'm an adult and still kinda feel this way.
I didn't ask to be here and it just gets harder everyday. Even when I'm doing what I'm "supposed" to do to be happy
I am sorry. I don't know why. I just felt like I should have apologized to you. Sorry.
We owe each other a lot.
Likewise, kids owe it to themselves to get a proper education so they can be better successful in their future.
I owe you $5.
They didn't ask to get born, and you people get all bent out of shape when they kill themselves.
Cool, then be as apathetic when teenage suicide continues to go up.
One mans entitlements is another's want to work from home or use a cellphone between classes.
That's the policy in the OP. I'm not sure if it says it in the article, but the OP commented that it includes between class.
I don't think kids are killing themselves because they can't use their phones in class....
Mostly because the world disregards their concerns. "I was able to go through school with lead paint and leaded gasoline" says the fucking boomer.
"I was able to go to school withoit a cellphone."
Good job, you survived a time when life was much simpler, and I'm glad you'll use your experience to shit on the next generation. It's the same argument against LLMs. They aren't going away and saying. "No, don't" isn't going to change the world.
It's the same stupid worldview that thinks playing a "gambling is dangerous" warning after a Draft King ad is an effective deterrent.
I don't think OP is thinking that far into their future. I don't think OP has any plans for higher education either. It's been a few decades for me, but when I was an undergrad, if your pager went off in class --cell phones weren't really a thing yet-- most professors would ask you to leave, which was not a good thing in the small upper division classes as they were very difficult and you had to pass with a B or better to move on in my major.
I just wanted to be able to listen to my music while doing work.
