Here is a quaint idea, how about no cell or smart phones on school property. How about a cell free zone 100 yards from all school property while we are at it.
Not a bad idea. I'd add a rider to that rule with video monitoring of the classroom that a parent can review. Sort of like having body cameras on cops.
That’s how it is at the school where I teach. It makes life so much easier. Of course, kids still try to sneak their phones in all the times.
I agree with your sentiment. however my 3 teens don’t leave without their cell phones. 2 are in private school where they are not allowed to have one. Even when they go to summer Bible camp, they are going to have access to call me if there is an emergency. They are smart about it. As a federal agent, I promised my wife that if there is a catastrophe at work they will not find me in the shelter in place. The people who died in the world trade center below the floors where the planes hit, died waiting for a rescue person to tell them to leave. Watch heros of 9/11. I refuse to die or have a family member die for obeying some idiotic, asinine, government bureaucratic idea of how to protect myself, like “shelter in place” or locked in a classroom waiting to be the next one shot because they don’t have a phone to call for help.
You all are right that they just don’t want the parents and public aware of the wholesome destruction of our children’s humanity in the public schools
