Ban smart phones for everyone under the age of atleast 16, but ideally under 18. I would be in support of using tax payer money to provide each public school kid with a dumb phone that can only be used to make basic calls and text messaging. That’s all you’re allowed to have in the classroom.

inb4 “it’s going to be used for mass surveillance” - it doesn’t matter.

Why do they even need that in the classroom?

To appease parents who insist there's a safety violation going on because their kids can't call them if there's an emergency.

What safety violation would be possible, inside the classroom? Fights in the hall, ok, but they could keep the phone on their backpack. But inside the classroom with the teacher present?
