sooooo apply the same rules to the adults? here’s my old man yells at cloud moment but you don’t need your cell phone in school. I got through my entire schooling without one, teachers didn’t have one. if there was an emergency or you needed to make a call well that’s what the front office was for.
I mean hell in high school kids just had pagers and if a teacher caught you looking at it during class they’d just take it away.
Things can literally go back to this with zero negative consequences. The only parents that are upset about this are the ones with deeply co-dependent relationships with their kids. My wife is a teacher and when her school briefly had kids put their phones in pouches, a lot of her students told her they felt relief from feeling like they have to check their phone constantly. This ban will help with teacher burnout too. Teachers spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to get their students to put their phones away. It should have been put into law years ago. Also, the teachers don’t have time to check their phone during class, so the comment about role modeling is complete bullshit.

There is something deeply messed up about this. I see people do that and I cannot understand it at all. Or getting a text, like it will be there an hour from now or even tomorrow when I get around to reading it.
I bring this up because just today I saw people trying to teach seniors (over 55 years old) how to let go checking on their phones all the time.
Seems like a human condition problem, so how do we help people learn not to feel this way?
Also: I know some schools that allow cell phones, they are just another tool after all. The kids don’t really use them much because they are expected to be present for class, not wasting time on the phone. It helps A LOT that their class sizes range from 8 to 12 kids. Partnering kids with each other, and constant engagement during class seams to really help.
