[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now high school kids can’t even use their phone at lunch. Are you kidding me?? How ridiculous.[/quote]

Great idea. The less they use their devices, the better. It’s a privilege, not a right.[/quote]

Their lunch is their free time. Teachers are on their phones all fu$king day at school. [/quote]

How many times do you people have to be told that TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ARE NOT EQUALS.

Teachers are adults whose frontal lobes are fully developed. Students are children who are still developing the ability to use their brains.

Stop comparing teachers and children. [/quote]

1) My kid had a teacher under 25 so her frontal lobe wasn't fully developed either.
2) The way you raise functioning humans is to treat them as adults as much and as early as possible. Maybe phones at lunch start at MS or HS and there should be significant consequences for breaking established rules but you don't wake up at 18 or 25 or 30 and just know how to exist in the world. It requires practice.
3) The anger about treating teachers and students as equals seems to be more about teachers not being held above all others than about students being treated like people.[/quote]
