Few things make me feel genuinely old like reading about smartphones in K-12 schools. When I was in high school, there was a part of the student handbook that specifically forbade "wireless devices" used during school hours, and given that only a few kids even had basic cellular phones at the time, enforcement was not only easy, but barely necessary. A modern classroom where kids are not only texting each other (something I didn't encounter until college) but sending Snaps, posting on Instagram, and playing Clash of Clans is so far outside anything I can imagine from my time in public school as to be from a completely different culture. I thought being a teacher must be hard based on my experiences then – I can hardly fathom what it's like today.
