gollark: It would just be exam revision for me at school, being year 11, so not much actual learning anyway.
gollark: Yes, but they do *sometimes* confiscate them and it would be a hassle to have to pick it up again later.
gollark: As a somewhat more rule-abiding person I mostly don't, although the cost/benefit probably does come out in favour.
gollark: Yes. Quite a lot of people use them anyway and just deal with them being confiscated occasionally.
gollark: Also, I can have internet access all day - my school foolishly banned use of phones during lunch break (not just while eating, during the entire 1 hour 30 minute break).
