Welcome to the 15th Century where books are prohibited in schools. We favour the age-old method of the scholar-teacher as the sole source of wisdom along with the use of slates for children to copy from The Bible uplifting Psalms and Verses. Allowing children access to books during the school day would only increase the transmission of unhealthy and ungodly ideas and cause disease and anxiety in young people. Naturally, in our better schools learning is conducted in Latin. Signed: His Majesty’s English Government.

Wrong. By the 1450s, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type and printing innovations gave rise to early printed books (incunabula) such the Gutenberg Bible and the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle, which used mass-produced book withImage woodcuts for illustrations.

Maybe stop spending all your time flipping pages on your book and you might get it? (Also a bit of basic historical knowledge about the history of the printing press and books would help.) Apologies if this went over your head though.

Good. There is literally no reason to have a phone in school. Most schools already have bans already and a few I know have had EXTREMELY belligerent parents cause havock because they insist on being able to constantly monitor their children. Having the government on side is helpful. The kids will manage. The ones that complain the most are also the ones that need time away from their phones the most, and they quickly get used to it.
