No staff on there's either

@@pkolakoff4 Okay, 16 year old.

​@@pkolakoff4 Why shouldn't the adult in charge of teaching have a cellphone?

So let me ask this, if your child was in a classroom and a Active shooter entered, wouldn't you be grateful that they had a phone to call 911? You must not think much of your child to not have them to be able to have that phone to call for help!🤷‍♂️🤦

@@yourhuckleberry3733 What good would that do? The police get informed right away regardless of whether you have cell phones. Also, the police just wait outside the school anyways.

You should have heard what they said about the newspaper when it first came out, total brainwashing right there, amiright???

THANK YOU

This. Exactly this. There is no justification for having phones in a school.

School shootings weren't a thing back then boomer

Lol I had a teacher if she caught you chewing gum, she'd make you stick it on the end of your nose.

I bet other former teachers feel the same way.

@@SamJone-n8u big facts!!! 💯 👏🏾

Kids these days dont respect the teachers or much of anyone.. Its all about me, me, me... Glad they ban them..

Sometimes, the calls to parents are too late. How are the staff going to contact all the students' parents in case of an emergency? No phone WHILE in class is understandable and only be able to use it in between classes and at lunch brake.

Seems like the cellphones are distracting more people not in school to me, how bout we let principals and school boards handle it, since we hired them to do things like that?

​@@user-ey7mu2dz9cit's was principles and school boards that pushed this bill. This has been a hot topic at school board meetings the last couple of years. It's the right decision.

​@@statesideislander5187many schools have mass text messaging, contacting parents is not an issue.

@@jamietwigg5152 so parents want their kids to have cellphones on them at school, and principles and school board went to higher authority to override the will of the people......hmmmmm

Locked up in their Lockers!! And best not be late to their next Class either!!

Schools are allowed to set the education policy. If you can't have it for the day, then it should also be allowed that you can't have it for the year.

they’re able to do that, they just give the phones back when they go home

This bill was sponsored and pushed by teacher unions, and county school boards. It has more protection under a state law.

@@jamietwigg5152 cool story, your students still don't care about your whack a*s teaching methods, maybe those unions and school boards should find a better way to engage

I'm sure the teachers would have their cell phones. But we still have school shootings today, so I don't see how kids having phones is a deterrent.

They could be put into a safe place within each classroom.

You don't know how real life works do you

Doubt a shooter will let them run to their locker to say goodbye to mum n dah

But does either state actually like their governor? 😂 Don't see that matchup.

@@fiddlinman_1playsgames641 One way or another, after Trump, the Right will moderate, and women like how Gavin looks on TV. 🤷🏿‍♂️

You’d figure if they gave a damn about the students learning the Department of Education would have already mandated this.

Only 6th grade? Sounds like you were middle of the pack.

@@fiddlinman_1playsgames641 I was 7 years old they didn't have kindergarten back when I went to school and besides that we also learn the Golden Rule treat other people like you want to be treated and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I worked in an elementary school and I saw what's going on and I seen children in third grade that couldn't even read. It is this generation. And then I would never have said anything to you as you said to me like only 6th grade level. You're a very degrading person you don't know how to uplift people I think that I was reading really well in second grade. We're here to uplift each other not tear them down or to make them feel small or you were in the middle. Collect a more positive attitude and positive things will happen to you. Your mouth will be your judge and people can read you very well. There was one other book that I read and I still read it, and that is the Bible and it gives me wisdom and knowledge of people like you who always put others down, only to build yourself up, but what you don't realize is you're not really building yourself up by criticizing other people that what you are actually doing is just tearing down your own character and people will catch on to that egotistical attitude

The same ones on their phones at work, are same ones crying they don't make enough. Where I work you sign a contract about phone use, if you're caught on it other than lunch, break time, or emergency it's termination of employment. It's called work for a reason.

Your supposed to work not be on your phone lol. Your probably the guy that sits on his phone all day and does half of other workers and bitches twice as much

When we started running active shooter drills years ago, one of the first things we learned was too many people calling 911 overwhelmed the system and kept the person with the most accurate information on hold. Policy became one caller per classroom and only calls from classrooms close to the shooter.

@@loudidier3891 I only have one thing to say to that. Uvalde. Also, you entirely missed the point. Now that bump stocks are legal, there won't be anyone left ALIVE to make that call. Imagine what the Uvalde shooter could have done in 70 minutes with a bump stock. I'm not talking about saving lives once the shooting starts. I'm talking about what the hell is wrong with us that we're ignoring the real threat to our children and instead, endlessly focusing on cell phones and social media. It's like ignoring the fact that your 18 month old is sitting in the middle of the street because you just found a broken balloon on your lawn.

Private schools have had this rule for some time. If you're homeschooling and allow the kids on the phone all the time, you aren't doing a good job. This bill was pushed by educators and school boards across the commonwealth.

nice to see you still live in 2018

Wrong

It was school officials that pushed for this bill. Reading in fundamental.

lol you think the government just thought this up without being pressured by teachers unions and school boards? My lord you people are smooth brains. Teachers have been pushing this for years

Trump derangement syndrome

Orange man bad
