Yes, we have different rules for kids and adults. Does anyone want to argue that we shouldn’t? Really? Let’s hear it.

I take it the argument that kids need their phones to be safe at school has been completely debunked? Otherwise, they’d use that one, like parents have since this whole fiasco started.

To anyone old enough to remember when schools didn’t allow personal phones, because they didn’t exist, the idea that they should be allowed is ludicrous. Same for allowing food, or chit-chat, or kids to get up and wander around the class during instruction, or all the other stupid shit that goes on now in schools, from what I’ve read.
