Well the #1 reason parents want their kids to have phones is because so many kids die in school shootings and parents have a need to be able to get ahold of their kids.
That’s the #1 reason, no matter how illogical it is
Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools
Auli@lemmy.ca 6 days agoI remember when people didn’t have phones on them 24/7 and kids didn’t die and parents could call the school if they needed to talk to the kids. Somehow we survived.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, you’re right. Kids calling 911 is what gets first responders on scene. Until kids in America can attend school without the threat of gun violence, banning phones is not an option.

And a bunch of people didn’t but we don’t talk about them, it was the norm back then.

But people don’t like that song, so you’re right about not wanting to talk about it.
