Cubing in school

[MJS Cubing]

The BEST cube for cubing in class.

Dayan Tengyun M with a LOT of lube

Basically cannot hear the thing

Yep. I also really like my Valk Elite. It's very quiet as well.
Also, I put a lot of weight 4 in a little magic, it's slow, but it's silent.

It was a joke, Im probably one of the nerdiest people here.

Same. I go to a gifted and talented school.

Yay!

What kind of nerd are you? Ima math nerd.

Haha. It’s like the exact opposite here in Taiwan. Such a thing is never heard of. In fact, my school has been famous for being ridiculously strict for 20 years straight and (as far as I know) not a single student has sued their teacher. It’s just the way things are here in the east.

No one sues their teacher in the states either i dont think, it was a joke lol.

Western Australia has a "off and away all day" policy. Phones are banned

Same with Victoria

I've always been an English nerd. I used to be good at math then I got a bad math teacher in year 7 and didn't try very hard now I have a good teacher and I'm doing good.

Same here in the USA. Kid just hide it under their desks. Teachers are pretty stupid here.
I find that most teacher know that I'm cubing but they know I'm listening cos I'm a pretty good student. My friend iwannaganx whilst being a good student and extremely good at math, cubes really loudly and manages to get his cubes confiscated vevery time, even my own ones when I Gove them to him lol

Well..........its not blocked if you do have a personal hotspot and connect your computer to that if it's byod school. Otherwise i guess you have no choice

Our school doesn’t allow VPN, hotspot etc. if you get caught using it your device is confiscated

I cube pretty openly during classes—having something to do with my hands helps me concentrate. My teachers are pretty chill for the most part, so as long as I'm paying attention and not distracting others they don't mind. This depends on the teacher, of course—some of them take their classes much more seriously than others, so I can't take out my cube then.
Of course, I use a TengYun while in school. I'm going to re-lube it soon and try to quiet it down even more.

Same here. The teachers don't really care.

My teacher: So tell me what do you know about...
My friend: Wait for a moment I need to solve my cube!! (noise from his Rubik's brand cube).
30 seconds later:
Teacher: You get F grade
My friend: Wait, I'm orienting corners...

BTW. I got my previous 3x3 PB (8.80) during computers lesson. My classmates: Oh man how?? My teacher: You are turning it so fast, it will propably start burning.

You go to school to learn. Pay attention.

I mean my school is hosting a comp in March and we already hosted one in September 2019 soooo.
We have a cubing club that is very big

Lucky for me, I have a photographic memory. I listen to the teacher once and then just goof off. Math class is the best because I can program/draw with the TI-84's. Still get All A's, though.

Ok so, some exciting news and some not so good news. I tried to go on speedsolving.com at school and it's blocked.

But, I talked to a teacher about starting a cubing club and she approved.
