An Arizona high school biology teacher recently quit his job after reaching a breaking point with how much his students were addicted to their smart phones.

An Arizona high school biology teacher had his last week of teaching after becoming exasperated with his students’ constant smartphone usage in the classroom. Sahuaro High School’s Mitchell Rutherford spoke to a local Tucson NBC affiliate early last week, saying that he has done everything he can to try and get his students to break their 'addiction' to their phones, and is now giving up.

This past Thursday was the 35-year-old public school educator’s last day in the profession after 11 years. Rutherford said that he has employed a variety of lesson plans throughout the last few years to get his students to understand the harms of constant cell phone usage in their daily lives.
