    Black robe and a red hat
    Come on fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
    I don't care about no Gulf of Mexico
    I've got so much left to do with my life

    Black heart in a white man
    Come on fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
    Sure like to feel some pride
    But this place just makes me feel sad inside

    Sadly, there is nowhere to take asylum.

    One issue with this is, use of phones doesn't develop the typing skills so valuable in most software applications. I've interviewed young adults for jobs requiring typing skills, and even though they might have texting thumbs of lightning, the ability to maneuver around a standard keyboard was rare.

    Sure they will. It’s the only way to ensure that data isn’t hacked.

    Donald Trump is a vampire. That is why he only held power when people invited him into the (White) house. That is why her wears so much makeup....to protect him from the sun. That is why he is never seen with a cross. In those stupid Pizza Hut commercials, he insisted no garlic be used on the pizza.

    Instead of gorging himself on human blood, he feasts on liberal tears and cash money from beta tech dorks.

    He is....Nosferacoup!

    Let’s keep acting like hours on Instagram, Snapchat - at school - have anything to do with what you’re writing. Because that’s what’s happening. hours.

    And phones are not a luxury item either. The poor kids aren’t getting some ironic advantage out of not having them. Almost all poor kids have phones. It affects them more, arguably. And not in a good way.

    All schools need to ban phones. Whether it is turning them in to a central location at the beginning of each day or having a place to put them in each classroom, they create problems beyond just the huge distraction. They keep young people from interacting with the people in the room with them, so I think they limit social development. There is also the issue of cyberbullying. Taking phones away can help create more of a safe space, though of course, it doesn't do anything to mitigate traditional bullying.

    Yes, there will be push-back from students and parents at first, but it will get better. I know teachers at high schools that have had bans. The older students give them problems the first year, but the ninth graders don't. They start in that school with the rule, so they don't know anything else.
