Whenever I read this I think "why are they even asking? You tell the kid hw and projects are done on the computer and that's it."

When I had trouble concentrating and learning 7x8 and random ones around there, my dad made me stand facing a wall so I would concentrate lol. Not in a forceful way, but it was his tool to make sure I concentrated til I got it.

I can't imagine him watching me make a major life mistake like trying to learn and practice my work on a phone instead of sitting down at a desk.
