I’m teaching a class on the landmark Supreme Court case, Terry vs. Ohio (1968). A group of students in the back of the room has started giggling.
Khawaja: Excuse me–why are you laughing?
Female student (giggling): Somebody just sent me a dick pic.
Khawaja:
Student: Unsolicited.
Khawaja:
Student: I guess I should put my phone away?
Khawaja (musing, as if to himself): So people actually do this. It’s not a myth. They…just…send…intimate pictures of themselves to random people…
Student: Yeah, I get lots of them. [shrugs] It’s mostly unwanted.
Here are some unsolicited Dick Pics for ya:

I take back everything I have ever said about how bad high school teaching is. I get to confiscate their phones.

Consequently, most of them turn the damn things off and don’t mess with them, for fear that I will confiscate them. Once I ended up with four phones in my jacket pocket within the same hour. I heard fewer ringers after that.

I’ve never inquired about whether I have the authority to confiscate phones. I believe Carrie-Ann confiscates them. It’s not my style, though. And I’m not sure I’d want a bunch of dick pics in my pocket.
