    Kids have no need for any of those. There is an adult in charge who is responsible for emergency situations.

    Yes, it absolutely should be unconditionally banned in the classroom, with substantial disciplinary action for the first offense. No, the example they gave is not even sort of a justification. Anything that results in the student leaving early goes through the office, and nothing that doesn’t result in them leaving early can possibly require them to have a phone during the day.

    No, a phone is absolutely not a tool in the classroom. It is a massive distraction. The idea of using the absolutely disgusting shitshow that is modern LLM tech in an educational setting is even more disgusting and anti-learning. Students that need accommodations should be getting actual accommodations, not a cheap facsimile that make it impossible for a class to function because of the massive distraction.

    You should absolutely not be permitted to have a phone on your person in a classroom setting before college, let alone to interact with it.

      How can you say that with a straight face after seeing all the horror stories of kids with special needs having those needs blatantly ignored by school staff?

      Here’s a quick lil story fir ya.

      Our teachers refused to listen to us while the school burned. Refused to look out of the window and see the actual fire. These people are in charge of your children.

      Kids should have phones. Teachers are there to reach and that’s it. They aren’t pious perfect creations. Phones are a great safety net that we didn’t have when I was in school.

      I walked past my teacher and out of the school as it was burning. Teachers should not have final day in anything. They are there to teach and nothing else. I’d rather my kid grew up to understand they have final day in their life and can walk out of situations they cause them harm.
