Phones are distracting students in class. More states are pressing schools to ban them::Kids are on their phones in classrooms across American, even when school rules forbid it. More states want to ban them.

    Parents lose their minds if they can’t contact their child at any moment. Some schools/teachers ban them already but I imagine some PTA meetings about this will be total shitshows.

      And rightfully so! Every student in school died horribly before cell phones existed.

        I mean…American schools do have somewhat of a reputation… I can kinda see why parents would want their child to be able to contact them in an emergency.

          I suppose I’d be worried, too, if I was sending my kids to a war zone on a daily basis.

        Ahh yes, not all the kids died, therefore emergencies don’t happen. Okay then.

          It’s as if the universe didn’t exist seventeen years ago to these people.
