The UN agency said that even being close to a smartphone has been linked with students being distracted in the classroom, which in turn causes poorer student performances.
Collecting personal phones and such makes sense if they have devices strictly for school. They could even benefit from having time set aside as they grow to learn how to program the tech themselves. Structure out time for group activities for younger ages, sharing one tablet between like 4 kids. Monitor how they’re using the devices between the school days and make sure they aren’t adding shit that’s distracting from the lessons.
No? I understand why they would be upset, but I don’t see that being a big enough issue to change this policy (as it doesnt really tangibly affect any aspects of a shooting).

The first school shooting that a student wasn’t able to call/text their parent would result in every parent suing and this being reversed.
