  Ringing the bell and running is a massive adrenaline rush. Trolling the teacher in school is just plain fun. I’m rolling with the parallels today, but again, it’s the same as throwing a paper ball at the teacher when they turn around to write on the board. Most kids in the classroom don’t do it, but it’s just a ton of fun because the teacher doesn’t know who in the crowd did it (and the class doesn’t rat anyone out). You effectively disrupt class for several minutes, and the majority of the class loves that. Same is probably happening with Zoom, the kids are deliberately sharing the links. Now, if you’re looking for a answer along the lines of ‘are there particular kids that are hyperactive and lack impulse control’, you won’t get that answer from me. Most of us grew out of this by High School, and we’re all doing fine. But, you couldn’t take the joy of doing this stuff away from me in Middle School.
