Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 day agoWhy don’t they just have rules like we did. Have your phone out in class and you get a lunch detention, next time a detention, 3rd time sent to the office with a recommendation for suspension.
Kids have to learn to be responsible… They will have their phone on them everywhere else in life, like work. Learning to be responsible about it seems like education.

I fervently agree with your hypothesis, but i dont think you know what it is like inside public schools these days. “Shut up bitch” is the likely response to enforcing that lol

Pick up the phone call the security guard to come escort them to the office for a 30 day suspension. Happens again expelled.
You can start day one with a message on the board that you have a zero tolerance policy for disrespect
The teachers are there to educate not parent. If the kids aren’t afraid of getting in trouble then it’s the guardians problem. Public education is something that is supposed to be available so kids can learn, and we have turned it into a place to dump your dependents so they can go to work apparently.
