I didn't use mine in class because it wasn't allowed and teachers would take it away if I did. Is that not a thing anymore? Or maybe just a german thing in the first place.

That being said, don't need a smartphone to play games in class. I was a god at snake on my graphing calculator...

No, it isn't universal. Teachers here quit trying basically as soon as smartphones became common.

For me it is equal parts paying attention in class, developing attention spans away from ~~video crack~~ tiktok/shorts/whatever, and generally encouraging them to do other things.
