11·
1 year agoTbh I’d never been allowed to use my phone at school (just graduated HS). Same goes for most schools where I live. Usually kids can bring phones, but they’re supposed to keep them powered off or in a locker on campus. Of course kids will find a way (hiding away in toilet stalls to game etc.), but still.
I don’t see an issue with the rule itself. I don’t think there’s really a way to responsibly use a smartphone at school. If kids really need to contact parents, it shouldn’t be that difficult to ask a teacher for help. Implementing a worldwide rule seems strange to me though.
More for them and less for me then. I enjoy my Subscribed + New feed and don’t bother with much else.
