      Did you hear what I said about dopamine being the “joy hormone” and used as a “reward”. Your body gives out happy hormones like this after an exercise and other good stuff for you (including school work if it is interesting)

      And don’t you tell me that knowledge isn’t interesting. For something to be interesting (by my definition) it must give you knowledge.

      Girls twerking on TikTok is not interesting - the way Hitler died is

      Memes are not interesting (unless they contain important info)

      These may produce dopamine in other ways but they are not interesting

      Which means that phones and computers can fuck right off.

      I could be considered “tech savvy”, I know a bit of C/PHP and a lot of shell script. Explain ro me how I could learn that without a computer (I’m also self-taught)

      So they need to make everything else less interesting.

      As I said, sleep is something that pupils prefer to schoolwork. Get schoolwork above a bar that low and then we can talk. Amyway, it just needs to be interesting enough that students won’t feel a need to check social media
