I know And I can ask my 15-year-old Daughter for one and she'll be like I haven't got one! What the heck your going to school but you do have a pen, damn, lol :)
They demand a laptop here. And heaven forbid if they go to school without it and the teacher has to make a paper copy of the assignment. I remember the teachers at my school spending 3 hrs after school ended making copies of the next days assignments. That's after writing most of them out by hand too!
