That's my exact experience too. My school already bans phones, but that hasn't stopped me staring out the window or just sitting there and thinking to myself. A phone would be an improvement as I'd at least have a chance of looking up something relevant to what the teacher's saying.

We don't have those kind of calculators in the schools here. I just do the old-fashioned "input random sums and see what the calculator says".
As a school student in a school where phones are banned, I think this is a bad idea. The ban achieves 2 things for me:
-
Making it harder to check a fact or figure quickly.
-
Preventing me from listening to music, playing games or browsing the web uring lunch break.
It DOES NOT stop me from becoming disengaged from the class! If I'm bored, I'll look out the window, play with a calculator or something similar. And of course the ban hasn't stopped many students using phones anyway. Maybe phone bans don't solve the issue of uninteresting classes after all?
Irish person here. Yes, I drink my tap water without boiling. My water comes from a well as I live in a rural area, but town/city water is drinkable too.
I love the animations too! Glad to see a 2D Mario with an actually new style!
I am too! Given that this game hardly ever gets mentioned, I never even thought that a remake could happen!
And a Mother 3 localisation while we're at it!
Nearly there! Not just Kirby, but a specific game in his series.
Pink ball in abandoned world
Super Mario 3D World! The last few levels of it are a major difficulty spike, but I got through them!
Now I just have to beat every level again 4 times...
For similar reasons, Super Mario 64. I know that if I was growing up in the 90's it would have been the coolest thing ever, but I'm not and I'm used to more modern Mario games.

Sunny weather. Living in Ireland, the sun is ALWAYS a welcome respite from the constant dull rainy shite.
