English teacher caught me doing this, confiscated my walkman, told me to come by when the day was done to get it back. Came back and he was rocking out with his own headphones, said I had good taste, but not to let it happen again. (The best of 3 dog night), hallway home the batteries died, I was prideful and upset the rest of the walk home.
This explains why so many of y’all didn’t learn anything in school.
Dunno why people keep saying this like it’s a new thing lmao, since phones have become popular even in the flip phone days teachers and schools have or tried to ban them.
It doesn’t work, it never works, kids will always find a way to sneak them in lmaooo
I just had sucky teachers. Most classes consisted of walking in, and the teacher making us copy some overheads, then do work in the textbook, then homework. The teacher didn’t really engage or teach us anything, just sat there on his phone
In all reality the books should be enough for people to learn. Teachers don’t actually ‘teach’. They all just regurgitate info.
…if that’s the case, why do professors exist in this day and age with so many books? Why don’t we have a scholar system in reality if books should be enough for people to learn?
Like, if you’ve ever had a good teacher before, they’re not JUST regurgitating info, they’re connecting it to the wider context that currently surrounds you, aka your daily lived life (at least in a lot of cases, I’m sure there are many flavors of what makes a teacher better than an info regurgitator, but this is a solid one that I personally know of)
Teachers, while they may suck or not have the ability to be good for whatever reason, are not supposed to be just information spewing robots.
What’s an iPod grandpa?
I miss iPods. It would be nice to have a tiny device to use with Bluetooth headphones during workouts and running so that I don’t have to carry around my phone.
A smartwatch could probably fill that function, but they’re so expensive because of all the health crap they load them up with.
New guide:
-
Put in Bluetooth earbud
-
Listen to music
It only works if you have the hair long enough to cover them, and even then, it would be easier to detect it and smart teachers would ask the students to remove the hair from the ears… Heck, in my school days it wasn’t even allowed to have the hair long enough to cover them lol.
I used to do the secret service version. Cables runs through your back and have it go over your ear. I had a fro so teachers couldn’t see my cable or earphones.
Similar - I had a big interior pocket and I ran the cord through the lining and into the space where my roll-up hood should have been. Except that I’d cut away most of it such that my crappy walkman-knockoff headphones (broken off from their frame) were inside each tip of the collar, right next to my ears.
I rarely used it in class and when I did I kept the volume really low and smashed it to my ear similar to the pic. Mostly I think I was just a teenager and wanted to feel like I was getting away with something, I think.
