When I was reading the off-topic forums, I didn't expect it to go this off topic. This isn't a train going off the rails, this is a train growing wings and flying to the moon.

@EndgameEnthusiast2357 Covid didn't come from China, it came from Fort Detrick in Maryland. That's pretty obvious to anyone that has looked into it, and eventually it will become the agreed upon concensus because it's a fact.

Schools are a disgrace these days. When I was in school, you did not use cell phones in the classroom. You sat up, faced forward, and paid attention to what was being taught. If you were taking a test that day, you did not talk, you did not cheat, you studied the few nights before, and you took the test like you should and you passed it!
The only electronics you ever used were a computer in the computer lab if the class needed that, like Computer Applications class or Computer Programming class, or else a calculator for things where a calculator was necessary, and NO, A CALCULATOR IS NOT NECESSARY FOR ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, OR DIVISION!. Today, kids cannot subtract $5.63 from $20 without a freaking calculator. You would use it for Sine, Cosine, and Tangent! Square roots of numbers that are not perfect squares. Etc.
We has to sit still, pay attention, take notes, jot down the homework assignment, and do an hour per night in elementary, 2 hours in middle, and 3 hours in high school.
Having a chess club at a school is a very good thing as it teaches analytical thinking skills. If a teacher wants to use chess to teach analytical thinking, that is fine too.
BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY STUDENT IN ANY GRADE BE ON CHESS.COM, OR THEIR PHONES AT ALL, WHEN THEY SHOULD BE LEARNING THE QUADRATIC FORMULA, OR READING ROMEO AND JULIET, OR LEARNING THE PERIODIC TABLE, OR LEARNING WHY THE CIVIL WAR HAPPENED AND ITS CONSEQUENCES!
SMH!
Alright, Hi! if schools are failing and using calculators too much please explain to me (a junior in highschool) how to determine whether the infinite sum of the following problem diverges or converges. (I'll give you a hint "integral")
Crack cookies apparently
