    don’t forget - schools are there to make moldable employees. not solid adult humans. banning cell phones seems to align with the working industry’s rules, too.

      If someone can’t have their mobile device on hand because of stupid employer rules then they need to find a new job.

      I get that you don’t want your team distracted by mobile phone use during work hours, but saying you can’t have one is idiotic. Fuck those employers.

      OTOH kids need to learn that putting the device away to focus is a thing, if they can’t figure it out on their own I’m not against removing the opportunity while they mature.

          Commercial pilots are explicitly trusted to fly expensive and dangerous vehicles, sometimes with hundreds of passengers, over populated areas. They are trained and licensed professionals. If we can’t trust those folks to have a mobile device with them but to make good choices about whether/when to use it in the course of their job, then they shouldn’t be flying anyway.

      As a survivor of the education system, I can concur. I don’t want my kids to go through the same system I did.

        As a thriver of my education system, I want our education levels back at its peak of the early 2000s.

        Ive a son, currently in middleschool, in CT, and he is not worried about this at all.

        we had early cellphones when I was in highschool, not everyone had one, and they were banned. Go to the librabry computer during your study hall if you really need your fix. Maybe get a book while youre in there.
