Smartphone addiction

Some uses are helpful to learning—looking up info, calculators, etc Social media however is all over the place. Texting, messageboards, youtube, etc.

The fine line between having your freedom and having it impact school students, or workers.

Need to do math? Get a calculator.

Emergency? Ask a teacher to use a phone or have parents call the school if there’s an emergency, speak to student.

The district could also be very worried about kids getting evidence of things the district doesn’t want their parents to see.

I’ve got a better solution: Pull your kids out of publik skrewls.

Yep.

Your child using a phone during a school shooting isn’t going to do much.

Emergency at home? Call the front office and the child will be summoned for you to go pick them up.

When a spoiled brat decided to shoot up my son’s high-school, wounding several people and they went into lockdown, I was on the cellphone the entire time with my son.

Hell, no, you are not taking my son’s phone away. Being able to hear his voice kept me from going postal.
