  why do they need wheels?

  Carts, busses. There’s wheels in lots of stuff.

  Why are you leaving out guns?

  Well, you see, unlike the wheel/paper/mini computers with built in calculators calendars document editors email and research tools, guns serve no legitimate purpose in a school.

    Do they not have full sized computers? It’s dubious that there is any legitimate educational value to smartphones in schools either.

      School exists to teach you how to function in society. In our society, like it or not, everyone has a cell phone. Let’s focus on teaching them to integrate this tool into their lives in a productive way.
