The American Federation of Teachers said in a report that social media apps have had a negative effect on classrooms.

The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.

    Honest question. How quickly do these emergencies need to be resolved by you specifically? Like if the teacher or school can contact you in a quick manner if they go to the office, why would they need a phone on their person?

    Maybe there are person exceptions here, but how often does a few minutes, or a direct contact matter?

      The school could do that, or she could contact me directly with an embarrassing problem she doesn’t want them to know about and I can help her.
