    what did you learn in school today little Timmy?

    i learned to drop tables tunnel into a VPN so I could watch Reels in class

              Not convinced by this argument and surely there would still better way to address this.

                I don’t care what you think because you aren’t here in good faith. I won’t engage with you further.

        There is a quote that seems to reference students not having their phones between classes, though it is not said whether they are prohibited or do not have access to them.
