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.
I’m surprised they weren’t banned from the get-go
No phones on in classrooms during class. What parent would not be on board?
Helicopter parents
Our district bans them in middle school and leaves policy to each teacher in HS.
Maybe they should ban phones at work too lol
On one hand this makes perfect sense, on the other I wonder if kids will be more likely to be distracted by their guns if they aren’t distracted by their phones.
“Let’s get started. Guns away please.”
Seems like we need to educate kids on dealing with such things.
Which starts at home. Parents need to lead by example, to begin with, then actively teach kids about using distractive technology, laying ground rules, while also teaching about using the internet safely (including privacy and security).
Having this be part of schooling, at every grade level, would be a good thing too. But we know that will be a cluster fuck too.
Worrying how many people are okay with taking away rights from people just because they haven’t existed for a certain number of years yet. No one would dream of forcefully taking away adults’ phones.
It’s pretty normal here that you’re not allowed to use your phone in class. I think that’s the case in every school here.
Back to using old-school tech to pass messages in class.
The door cubby thing seems like a perfectly fine solution. Kids still have phones to be able to coordinate with parents, but aren’t distracted in class.
