    I’m not convinced. I think a lot more people are susceptible to getting distracted than there are susceptible to extreme acts of violence.

    Your stated good use cases can easily be performed after/outside of classes. And I would say in this day and age should be part of assignments/homework/studying in high school level education to guide and educate young people in filtering, identifying and assessing source materials better. But that’s asking a lot from teachers, who are not experts at this, either.

    I don’t see how any of this discussion relates to funding though.

      imo with better funding teachers would have more drive and ability to create a better learning environment for their students, excluding outliers of course.

      The good use cases is my personal experience, and it does not help as much outside of class when I’m reading a textbook or doing homework. It’s exponentially better for me to look this stuff up in real time when the teacher’s talking about it. It helps me visualize.

      >I think a lot more people are susceptible to getting distracted than there are susceptible to extreme acts of violence.

      That is certainly true. I wasn’t saying anything on the contrary; merely comparing them since they are similar from psychology perspective.
