“If The Breakfast Club were made today, it would be a silent film about 5 kids staring at their phones”

[This was found on YouTube by teacher Brad Zook: “I’ve been a teacher at an American public high school for 26 years. There’s an eerie silence now in the commons before school and the cafeteria at lunch as 100s of teenagers sit at tables with their “friends”, all of them staring at tiny boxes connected to earbuds and disconnected from those around them. I’ve had to enact rather serious consequences for using phones during my class. Many good kids do it anyhow. It’s like they can’t stop. I feel like I’m living in an episode of The Twilight Zone.”]
