        Ha! Funny.

        I made this 5 second comment just before bed, so it wasn’t so much being lazy, but not having time to click on anything else before calling it a night.

        And it worked out because someone else was kind enough to give me a TL;DR and I got to bed on time.

I’m not sure banning smart phones during school hours is the right solution, but it’s certainly a tricky problem to deal with.
