This is a sign of you being out of touch with the times. I can assure you that a phone wouldn't be the source of this problem. I would play Kerbal Space Program or any other game on the school computer. There weren't many options for them to stop it. We had http proxies, linux live CDs, you name it. The schools just simply couldn't lock them down properly. Even the students that weren't technically inclined didn't have difficulty, but there were plenty of people that did know what they were doing too.

If you were playing KSP on your school computers, then you're just part of the current generation. We're old, kiddo. I was playing Oregon Trail.

  I'd say both are educational and being played on a school computer is acceptable

    Yes, and I would argue that when we were hacking school computer lab macs to play world of warcraft 3, in my later years, that was okay, too. School IT admins are assholes for no reason.

How is computer usage remotely comparable? At my high school we had 2 hours of computer class per week. The rest of the time we spent in regular, computer-less classrooms. We had smartphones already in my days and I promise you they were a major source of distraction for the students even though they were banned. I cannot imagine I would have bothered to pay attention at all if I could just be scrolling twitter or reddit all day. There's a reason why I block these apps on my own phone during work hours.
