There is so much to unwind here:
phones should not be out at school
it should not be a law. thats overreach. schools have authority to hand out punishment.
children are not the same as adults. their brains are not fully formed. they lack the ability to see consequences and act appropriately based on those future consequences. so being outraged for different rules for chikdren is brain dead.
People are so fucking obnoxious in their desire to solve issues with kids by simply applying more authoritarian rules as if that ever really works.
It does not and condescending kids like this makes them distrust you.
Wtf are grade school kids doing with phones?
Let alone in a classroom.
And I'd say the same for teachers in classrooms.
At work my personal phone is on silent and I only check it at certain times.
In the us their probably calling 911 because there is an active shooter.
they're*
Should've stayed in school, kiddo.
(TBF: "US,"; "there's", etc.)
Too adhd to fucking care! Although I do appreciate the correction.
This article isn't just talking about grade school.
Rightfully, too. It's not.about education because we know adults don't.give a crap. It's censorship, part of a broader push.
I'll be honest, I don't think focusing on school was in hindsight actually beneficial to be and I can't in good faith shame kids these days from being disengaged from the system.
Gotta get the public comfy w/ that level of overreach early, so they don't grow up thinking, that's all.
glares at 00s' Chromebook scholastic dissemination
Don’t talk to me about “role modeling”. There have been different rules for teachers/admin at schools for as long as there have been schools.
