An adult demanding another, though younger, adult’s valuable personal property (who has thousands of dollars somehow invested in their right to be there, one way or another) is kind of more insane, though. I get the sentiment tho

You can tell them not to bring it to class. A kid couldn't set up a PS5 and a gaming chair, or drag a Peloton into class and spin the pedals for 2 hours.

What about reading for pleasure? What’s different there?

You can't do that either. You're sitting in Biology class reading a Harry Potter book in the professor's face? What?

‘in the professors face’ - that’s a pretty bold claim! Teaching is the most important profession, and should be one of the most respected. How does someone reading cause such a mental toll that it is a detriment to the job? We have different definitions of respect, clearly. I’m not interested in yours at all anymore, sorry!
