I’m always confused by this as “back in my day” teachers would just take our devices away if they were chasing distractions.

Then again that was back in the 2000s before smart phones and wifi everywhere.

Young people are kinda cooked I guess. Between nic vapes and brainrot they are in for a rough time.

Really shouldn’t be a ban. Just have teachers do what they always do take away the distraction and return it at end of class.

The second a fucking cell phone ban in schools hit at a legal level. Its just going to fucking evolve into regulations and bans around cell phone use for us plebians at work. Which will then be used to punish and attack people.

Bans for kids rarely stay that way.

Alot of company’s have cell phone rules btw, my mom works in a factory, they can’t use their devices other than during breaks. They can write you up and fire you as long as there’s written rules and shit.
