oh I had a whole retort all typed up full of teaching anecdotes and... then I realized it wouldn’t work anyway. So I replied with something concise and sarcastic.

It’s such a change though from even 5 years. I’m talking the WHOLE class before school starts. If a kid is not on their phone it’s weird.

AND you altered the smile. Phew. Go take a break now!

see we’re trading “someone else will do its”

I’ll try. 

Not really. I find it more distracting than anything else. “Let me finish this level of pool” or whatever.

Just checking to make sure you and I were thinking along the same lines. This was my first go and I say, Nah, Cecil’s got this. 

Man they should be focused on the phones. I’m a High School teacher and the amount of disconnect the kids have now (well, pre-covid “now”) is unreal. There they go, walking down the hall like a bunch of zombies, heads buried in their devices. Kids wait for class to start at a table of three others and they are on…

Big Frog? I don’t think so. 

BOBBBBBBB! You did it! You finally broke him!

I’m predicting a Johnny trend... (I looked up “movies set in 2021" and there wasn’t much of a choice) 

Johnny Mnemonic DLC FOR THE FUTURE. in 2021
