Mp3 players were banned in my elementary school 20 years ago lol. You couldn't take it out in class. But the bus rule is pretty crazy

I had a job that banned earphones and phone usage altogether, and my current job which literally could not care less so I wear my headphones all day.

The difference in how I performed at the old job vs the current is night and day. It feels like my thoughts scatter in a thousand directions without them

I hope your son can keep using them! (or sneakily find a way around it at least)

I fired a lady at work and she tried to get me in trouble for wearing my headphones on her way out. Thing is, literally every time my boss calls I say hang on a second,I got my headphones in because they aren’t good for phone calls, so he was already well aware and did not care. I take them out while assisting customers. I would probably quit if I couldn’t wear my headphones, the job is so boring without them.
