[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the premise but with a school shooting being a real possibility, I want my child to have access to their phone at all times. Have the kids put their phones in a basket at the beginning of class and get it when they leave. Seems like a simpler solution. [/quote]

[b]What is a cell phone going to do to help your student during a school shooting? [/b]Cell phones only complicate crises when students flood the community with false information through texts and social media.[/quote]

They can reach me and/or police to alert of an active shooter. I can also contact them to see if they are alive and to say I love you before they get shot and die. Perfectly valid reasons. [/quote]

Yeah sure, this is way more likely than them just getting distracted by the phone every single day in class . School shootings are actually quite rare. And I’m a teacher so I’m just as at risk as your kid should one come to pass but that is very, very unlikely. We have to actually focus on real learning 10 months a year for thousands of kids in the building, not the one extreme outlier event exception that will almost certainly never happen. [/quote]
