Why would even that be necessary? It's school, not jail or drug den...
Kids survived fine without phones for millenia, I'm sure they can survive now. If there is a real emergency, then I'm sure some supervisor can make a call...
What is wrong with you
What is wrong with you
Nothing.
Im a normal person who grew up during the time that there were no mobile phones, and we got by just fine. Anyone arguing that its torture or dangerous to remove mobile.phones from school really need to calm down. It literally NEVER was an issue until literally the last 10 years of this worlds existence, you cannot come up with any argument that requires kids to have one.
I can come up with a shit tonne of arguments why they shouldn't have one, though
