Photo-a-day 31: Students use phones all the time

I have ranted a few times before about electronics use in schools. While I understand the importance of safety in a child's life and how a phone can provide that safety as a connection to their caregivers, it is incredibly frustrating when - as in this picture - students use their phones to take selfies while we are instructing. My co-teacher in this photo is leading a discussion where most students are paying attention, except this one. Unfortunately, she thought it was more important to take this photo than learn the material.
