Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban

Soliman said students sometimes physically leave the building and go out into the courtyard for a phone break to play games or check messages during free periods or lunch. “The benches are always full,” Soliman said.

JFC, kids, you make smoking look like an easy habit to kick.

Just wait until they learn about 'zines. They’re like scrolling TikTok, but written down, like for literate people.

Settle down, grandpa. The world will spin another day if kids enjoy their free period a little bit.

  Said in sarcasm. I figured the author intentionally wrote that passage to evoke the image of miners on a smoke break or something.

That’d be an interesting turn of events - phone bans leading to a zine Renaissance among young people.

Don’t see it happening, but it’d be kinda cool.
