This old guide for how to listen to music in class.

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.

Long hair; didn’t even have to try and hide it.

This was my version too. No fro, but longer hair.

CD player or iPod would be in a back or side pocket.

That’s why I wore a hoodie. Had the headphones in the seam of the hood

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.

I just did the thing where you drink vodka in the parking lot with the Polish kids at lunch so you don’t care about having to sit through class.

Cut a hole in your hoodie pocket to run the wire out and keep the MP3/ cd player in there and that’s what got me through almost all of hs.

I hear you brother. Well, I read you. I can’t hear for shit

This explains why so many of y’all didn’t learn anything in school.

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.

That might be how you learn, but it certainly isn’t how everyone learns. Also, that’s just a shitty take on teachers.

…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.

And we wonder why teachers want to ban phones in classrooms

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 guess they could collect them at the start of the class. I’m sure some people would bring in “decoy phones” but whatever, it would still cut down on interruptions.

Doesn’t mean one should give up and do nothing.

As someone with next to zero attention span it baffled me when I learned other actual make the choice not too.

I’m learning more put of school than I did in school

Right now I’m learning japanese and how to draw

Can’t stand ear buds.
