Not as far as I can tell. The curriculum is more rigorous where I am than it was when I was a kid, but the output isn’t better. Maybe on par if they really try.

True, but the resistance to think is more than it was ten years ago when I started teaching.

Teacher here. It's not that they can't think, its that they don't want the take the time to think and learn.

Yea. I guess I always assume people are genuine, but it is a group who care about entertaining more than teaching.

I don't understand how these tech people can be so bad with researching things and then installing a distro.

Same.

Are you pretty much able to do everything you need? I don't even love using my phone but when I use it its kind of critical. Things like maps while driving. Does that work alright?

Cool. Currently I try to use Mobile Pay for everything, but the privacy is more important for me. I'm on IOS right but I'm tired of Apple and hate Google's privacy policies. So I'll def get a refurbished Pixel and try out Graphene. Thanks!

Is GraphenOS tenable to use as a daily driver?

It's not that there are games on them. It's that they can find games online to play.

Teacher here: In my classroom I'm purposely moving towards pen and paper. Each middle schooler has a Chromebook and it has wrecked their brains (along with social media and phones that they are on outside of school.) You leave them to do an assignment and they will be on a game in 10 seconds unless you keep on them. Tech needs to be used, but right now it is killing any curiosity and stamina for learning that they have left.
