    I think patriotism and nationalism should be avoided as much as religion and prayer.

    Hands below the desk.

    Eyes constantly staring at their lap.

    It's simple pattern recognition...if all the students were playing with their phones it might go unnoticed...but we teachers are trained to look at groups...if you've got 45 faces looking at you then the one black dot(top of your head) stands out...

    That little fist pump when you get "scooter" to level 5 while the teacher knows they are going through the most boring part of the lesson is also a dead give away.

    Always wondered how you guys are able to keep track of all of us. But if say we were to put our phones in such a way that our head wasnt in an unusual way then you wouldnt be able to catch us correct?

    nah you're not. when you don't get caught it's because they don't care.

    you just keep believing that, ace.

    i want you all to believe that, you know why? because when i confiscate a phone i take it to MBK and sell it. nice little side business.
