Eric Saueracker Record Player Tweet

A high school student in Vancouver, Washington, wanted to listen to music during a physics exam yesterday, but his teacher said cell phones were not allowed. So he did what any creative young kid living in 2018 would do: He brought a record player to class.

The teacher, Eric Saueracker of Hudson’s Bay High School, shared photos on his Twitter account of the student, Wyatt Prutch, listening to a Kanye West album on the record player—through headphones, of course.

Prutch ended up getting an A.
