    imo with better funding teachers would have more drive and ability to create a better learning environment for their students, excluding outliers of course.

    The good use cases is my personal experience, and it does not help as much outside of class when I’m reading a textbook or doing homework. It’s exponentially better for me to look this stuff up in real time when the teacher’s talking about it. It helps me visualize.

    I think a lot more people are susceptible to getting distracted than there are susceptible to extreme acts of violence.

    That is certainly true. I wasn’t saying anything on the contrary; merely comparing them since they are similar from psychology perspective.
