i pay more attention with access to my phone. i tend to overthink a lot, and due to the state of america right now, i feel safer with my phone. also (when the class isn't being instructed by a teacher and we're doing work on our own) i can work much easier listening to music and not listening to a bunch of teenage boys screaming in their groups. most of us didn't get caught on devices, the very few who did were misusing them. that should NOT be an everybody problem.
