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

[Belize King]

For example?

AI prompts for one. Scheduling. Micro learning. Smart phone discipline. Dictation. Optimal use for college.

Im against banning smart phones (Ive debated with people on here in the past). My question is are they gonna provide tablets, laptops with internet access? Because kids at my school use google to do school work. The internet is their enclopedia. Nobody uses physical books anymore accept for English. Most submit their homework through their phones.

...yes? What kind of school doesn't have access to computers? And you don't need computers for every fukking class, sumbitting stuff on google classroom can be done at home.

Because kids at my school use google to do school work. The internet is their encyclopedia. Nobody uses physical books anymore except for English class. Most submit their homework through their phones. I know kids who type papers through their smart phone.

I'm confused why this is even an uproar

When I was in high school, phones were not allowed at all. And we had metal detectors to make sure there were no phones. If there was any, they would be held in the principal's office until the end of the day

...why dafuq would students need their phones in a classroom.

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

Well, kids at least need a dumb phone in case of a school shooting, lockdown, etc. Those days of no phone are over

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

I was just about to post this. Maybe this law wouldn't be as much of an issue if we didn't have to worry about kids getting shot in classrooms, but then again, many on this site are opposed to any form of gun control so I guess they're fine with children being murdered anyways.
