  • Hilarious of you to say considering 1 smart phone with internet access has more accessible information than your entire school library of physical books but yeah they have ‘nearly 0 educational benefit’. Nevermind all the apps/YouTube channels dedicated to learning something. You may not believe it but I passed college algebra using Khan Academy because my actual teacher sucked so bad at teaching I was almost failing before I switched to the academies online tutorials. That aside can a smart phone be used for mindless shit? Absolutely, but I’d also bet your library has fiction books in it too. Should we remove them simply because they provide ‘nearly zero educational benefit’? Why stop at fiction then? Why aren’t we removing all aspects of curriculum that provide ‘nearly zero educational benefit’?
