Classroom laptop bans are ableist, even if they distract some students Human beings - including adults - have minds that are naturally distracted at points during a 45 minute lecture. You teach distractable humans, not robots It is your job to teach TOWARDS this, not around it.

A computer will not help focus on lecture and class discussion. If a student wants to skim thru a book, free to do so.

And you know that how? Many of us focus better with the aid of a laptop. I can focus far better on my notes and the lecture, due to far less pain from typing than hand writing. If I were to hand write all my notes, I can guarantee I'd fall behind and be far more distracted.
