Whilst I am very anti landlord, that last point is interesting.

Say, if someone had enough money to buy out thousands of houses and made them cheapest around, undercutting everyone, then sold them to the occupants if they wanted to buy... Would that somehow fix the renting crisis we're in today?

That is the point. Do whatever you want because no one's gonna remember it anyway. Once I realised that, life because a bit more bearable.

Yeah understandable, good on ya for wanting to pay it back tho!

Sign up to their patreon or buy their merch. They'll get a bigger cut that way.

Keep in dock

Refuse: use/buy an alternative

Reduce: if you have to use it (or buy it), use /buy as little as possible / until there's an alternative

I'm on Chess currently... Any tips from anyone here?

100%, if the schools were funded well enough, issuing school phones would be amazing!

School computers work well because they block most of the distractions but ofc students have 1001 distractions in their own!

For sure! A lot of parents don't really understand the amount of stuff teachers have to go through either, and we don't get paid for the hundreds of hours we do outside of teaching hours.

It's why I had to quit in the end. Felt like I couldn't give it my all because I was mentally and physically exhausted.

I'm all for giving them a chance to prove they're able to be responsible. Especially the kids that always try hard and deserve to be trusted.

I found that a lot of kids struggled to accept any consequences of their actions, though taking their phones off them for playing games was pretty clear to them.

The amount of times I told my students they can use their phone for certain exercises, then 90% of them just went on Tiktok or played Clash Of Clans, is why is started not allowing phones.

I get that to the 10% it was super helpful but it's just easier to not allow everyone.
