NYC to ban cellphones in public schools.

Citizen Watch Report ^

New York City Public Schools, the nation’s largest school district, is planning to prohibit cellphone use during the school day. This major policy shift comes in response to growing concern about youth mental health and the impact of smartphones on children. The ban will affect approximately 915,000 students. While students will still be allowed to bring their devices to school, they will be off-limits during school hours. This move represents a significant departure from current practice, where individual school principals set their own cellphone policies. Additionally, New York Governor Kathy Hochul plans to propose legislation that would prohibit smartphones in schools statewide.

This comes a couple of days after Hochul/Adams proposed a ban on face masks. Maybe they are growing a brain.

“Jam cell phone signals inside the buildings. A lot easier and a lot cheaper to enforce.”

Agreed—teachers should not have to deal with petty enforcement.

Meanwhile and also from NYS, get a load of this...

Hocul signs bill reforming teacher evaluation system in New York

...The new system allows districts and BOCES to negotiate performance review plans locally, without requiring student performance measures...

Bold is mine.

And this is continuing proof, as if it were needed, that kids aren't students.

Kids are just grist for Deep State's diploma mills.

after a girl was ambushed and beaten by a male student who claimed to be female. That assault was captured on video by many cell phones. I proudly helped make that video go viral. That video led to the resignation of the superintendent.

The ability for our children to document abuse and curriculum and call for help from school is an imperative security measure that should be determined by parents, not the school boards who are defending the policies putting our children at risk while at school.

Thus is why Deep Srate wants cellphones banned in public schools. So students can't record expletive-deleted conduct like this by publik skrewl employees...
