really this conversation is irrelevent to public education but rather effective parenting and control… i think the point is that a parent should teach their child to understand phones have no place in school unless it’s the parent calling the child, which in that case is a serious emergency.
i mean really… anyone that thinks a kid should have a phone is probably someone that knows that effective parenting is required and assumed. I’d send my kid to school with a phone with the understanding that they would never use it unless it was to call me or me to call them.
there are too many shitty parents that rely on public institutions to teach their kids morals and ethics… that breakdown is what causes these garbage rules to surface… if everyone was accountable for their kids it would be a different world.
I refuse to take responsibility for my actions and wrong doings when there is a perfectly good govn’t to place blame on and assumption that they should be teaching my children all the general common sense rules of life.
