Why don’t they just have rules like we did years ago. Have your phone out in class and you get a lunch detention, next time a detention, 3rd time sent to the office with a recommendation for suspension.
Kids have to learn to be responsible… They will have their phone on them everywhere else in life, like work. Learning to be responsible about it seems like education.
Police can be called by the teacher that’s also in the room. They never come in time anyways. Calling parents just reduces situational awareness by distracting the panicked kids.
Kids spend far too much time in school on their phones. This is simply true.
Counter point to this tho: Kids go to school knowing a shooting can happen at any time and need to have their phones for if that happens.
I can’t support restricting phones before we restrict firearms.
I’m assuming firearms are also restricted in NYC schools.
Yeah but the thing with mass shooters is that they don’t give a fuck what the law says.
Maybe tell teachers to teach better ?? Especially math & science teachers.

How do students having phones help in a shooting?
Is this a serious question? Replace “shooting” with any other emergency.
Calling / reaching out for help is the obvious one, but sadly being able to get their last words out to family is also a consideration.
you’re joking right?
Calling police, calling parents, etc.
What are the police gonna do? Wait outside until the shooter runs out of bullets, then go in to finish the job?

Oh ok I didn’t realize you had survived multiple school shootings. Sorry you live in america.
It’s nice to be able to call your parents when you’re bleeding out in the school atrium.
