gollark: Personally I figure that schools are wildly inefficient at actually transmitting knowledge and skills anyway, so meh.
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.
