  • the rules for the 100% shouldn’t be made because 10% can’t self regulate.

    Unfortunately that’s hard to avoid, because those 10% will disturb lessons and take up the teacher’s attention, thereby negatively affecting the other students.

    Are the teachers supposed to do extra work to ensure no teen had a cell phone?

    It’s way easier for a teacher to take away a phone that disturbs a lesson when there are not supposed to be phones in the first place, than have to argue about exceptions and limits to the rules every time.

    I agree and sympathise with your overall philosophy, but I’m also conscious of the practical limits, unfortunately.






  • Yeah, that’s fair enough. It’s not just working overtime though - endless toil on never-ending projects, especially when at a certain point, you’re not really making visible progress but rather are just working on a seemingly endless list of bugs and papercuts, is also terrible for motivation. The good news, of course, is that the Pop!_OS GNOME extension also got delivered, which, though a lot smaller than COSMIC DE, I’m sure also wasn’t a small undertaking.
