Yeah who needs the wheel either? We survived 450,000 years without it. And don’t get me started on paper. Paper can be used to make paper airplanes or spitballs. What a distraction! Kids should chisel their assignments onto stone slates like our ancestors did.

If wheels could brainwash a kid, completely distract them, and make them throw a tantrum when you take it away then we might have to worry about them.

Literally anything can distract kids and make them throw a tantrum when you take it away. Have you ever met a child?

I understand the paper, but why do they need wheels? Why are you leaving out guns?

Carts, busses. There’s wheels in lots of stuff.

Why are you leaving out guns?

Well, you see, unlike the wheel/paper/mini computers with built in calculators calendars document editors email and research tools, guns serve no legitimate purpose in a school.

Do they not have full sized computers? It’s dubious that there is any legitimate educational value to smartphones in schools either.
