    what is the curriculum? it varies state to state, school to school. Are you bothered that you did not have access to the utility of a smart phone when you were in school?

    The physical task of trying to find a relevant and modern textbook for a class project used to be a painful chore. i Graduated highschool in 2006. the best phone was still the Original Razer Flip and all litany of keyboard phones, Envy, Voyager, Alias. The internet was mostly just forums. only sites that were decent used to be the News ones until they turned 24 hour…

    I may not have a book in my hand, but I’m reading all day. name a curriculum that competes with the smart phone ecosystem.

      The thing about smartphones and the internet in general is that there is a lot of crap out there. Sure kids may read more, but what they read matters. If they’re reading websites that deny the Holocaust or give bogus health advice like bleach curing autism or things like that, that’s not good. Without education, how are they going to know what they read on their phone is garbage?
