The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice in c/technology@lemmy.world

6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? in c/games@lemmy.world

Why Schools Are Racing to Ban Student Phones in c/technology@lemmy.world

Nope I have not. I don't have kids. I have heard your comment said by many other teachers around too. I don't understand how it got to be like this. If people really don't want the responsibility, time, money, emotional and physical investments of raising kids, they shouldn't be having them.

I don't quite understand why this is still a thing? Back when I was in school in the late 2000s, phones were banned. Couldn't even bring it out even if you were going to use it as a calculator. Immediate 3 hour detection if you were seen with one. I got one for calling my mother to pick me up because I needed to go to the doctor.

I don't understand how between now and then, the rules seemed to lax.
