New York plans to ban smartphones in schools, allowing basic phones only

[valet]

Kids use smart phones as well for Uber, Lyft. For cities like Detroit with poor public transportation getting a Lyft s the best option. With New York i know its different

I mean there is this thing called emergencies and potential mass shootings that they'll need them for to contact parents especially considering Republicans have no interest in helping to solve the problem

In your rush to be a contrarian you missed the point.

Students will be allowed to have non smart phones so yes, they can still make calls. If there is an emergency they can contact their parents.

In your rush to try and get me in a gotcha moment, you failed to read that I was responding specifically to that posters point about them not being needed at all and not the premise of the article

Actually read the previous comment next time before you try and respond.

Once again, these are white government officials that still want to keep people (especially black people) under their control and can’t stand the fact that these kids are waking up (not the white version of woke, just to clarify) and seeing these clowns for what they really are

You sound dumb as fukk. This needs to happen everywhere

Kids don’t do shyt in school these days but be on tiktok & do dumb shyt. We had to suspend a few kids in 4th grade last year for recording themselves smoking vapes in the restrooms

Just because the kids don’t have em doesn’t mean everyone else won’t

All for this

Needs to be done everywhere. The positives far outweigh any potential negatives.

Bottom line.

Go read or talk to teachers about the kids these days. They are fukking retarded. No joke and a lot of them will tell you that tablets and phones are a big part of it.

Something needs to be done or else the future is cooked. This is a good first step.

Get them addicted then snatch it away causing discipline issues over something that could be solved with an MDM server

The smartphones have more/better information than they’re being taught in those schools.

Then stay your ass home.

Anyone who has a problem with this is an idiot

Maybe.... Just maybe things will be ok




Cause right now y'all kids are dumb and Ignant as hell

 

[mag357]

A lot of parents really dont give a damn about their kids education and just use school as daycare

My man said "a lot of parents"

You're being generous lol

Hochul is going to get herself knocked out the paint messing with Big Tech's money.

Watch and see, some "scandal" is going to break out soon if she keeps pushing this agenda.

just collect their phones when they're in class

That's been attempted and kid/parents aren't happy with $1000+ phones being taken away.
