This February would’ve marked 14 years on this app for me. Sometimes I use it more than others, and my time here has definitely dwindled in recent years, but I’ve never left; and it really sucks to see it being wrecked.
Concerning news from Poland tonight on at least two explosions.
Keeping a close contact with our Polish friends. Lithuania 🇱🇹 stands in strong solidarity with Poland 🇵🇱.
Every inch of #NATO territory must be defended!
@malarkeymode Out on the top right corner of the desk where I can see that it’s off and you’re not using it. There are a million options lmao, it’s just so lazy and controlling
@malarkeymode I just think this is a really extreme measure. What happened to leaving it at the front of the class or something just less insane that holds them accountable for not having it out during class
@malarkeymode I mean that seems like a whole different issue that has less to do with being distracted and more to do with an individual person’s life. You don’t make school policy based on that kind of example
@malarkeymode Right but that’s your job as a teacher: to figure out how to teach kids 😅 Did you super love your education cause the crusty teachers couldn’t keep your adhd ass’ attention in class? No one is unteachable and you can’t force people to care by controlling them
@malarkeymode @WhackNicholson And to cap it off, it’s ultimately just such a prison move. Most especially because kids now ARE born with their phones. So taking it from them is a bigger deal than it was to us. This school doesn’t even let them have it at lunch! That’s absolutely insane to me.
@malarkeymode @WhackNicholson —earned by showing respect back. All these things that make a good teacher. Instead of just blaming the students or technology or whatever. It’s like when an entire class fails a test - that’s on the teacher, not them.
