Most teachers are aware how bad smartphones are, at least from the surveys I've seen. They're more skeptical of them than parents or children. I think this case is kind of an outlier.
Vote early if you can, never know if you'll come down with the flu next week.
I probably wouldn't trust airplane mode, but I do believe power off is safe. There is no transmit capability in off correct?
But yeah, leaving phone at home is best knowing tracking sites like these exist.
Or just hit airplane mode / power off. Or just leave the phone at home, the procedure takes only 5-10 minutes.

Yes! Donald Trump is the mathematic equivalent of the absolute symbol. example: |-99| + |-594| = 693
A negative story is coverage, makes the left talk about him which riles up the right to fight back and vote because they feel oppressed. The right doesn't live in reality, so as long as they know Trump is being talked about that makes him their guy.
I realized this very quickly in 2017 that people were falling for the trap. I have no idea why anyone upvotes anything with Trump in it.
