[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immigrant parents and those with children who are POC, prepare them for how to stay safe and get reunited with you afterwards. Consider sending your kids to school with photocopies of their BC or passport. And if your kids are too little to remember important info, get them an ID bracelet. Give older kids an ACLU card that tells them what they don’t have to do if questioned by LEOs.

Even if your kid is White or White-presenting, they will be emotionally impacted.

My school is suspending rollout of our cellphone lock up system in response to the anticipated ICE raids in our region. Parents won’t send their kids if they have no way to reach them if a raid starts. [/quote]

So ya’ll are stopping a program rollout that benefits that entire school community because of fear of something that isn’t guaranteed to happened?[/quote]

It doesn’t benefit the whole community if it puts some kids at risk.

I make my kids wear seatbelts and look both ways when cross the street because of something that isn’t guaranteed to happen.  It’s a bare minimum for decent parenting.[/quote]

But what if your kids crash into a river and can’t get their seatbelt undone and drown? That’s what you’re talking about. Phones are damaging for kids, especially at school. You’re talking about wanting a phone in an extremely unlikely event. The far more likely case is that not having phones at schools helps all the kids.[/quote]

DP. A 4th grader was the first call to 911 in a recent school shooting (honestly, there have been so many I can't keep up). My kids are young adults now and didn't have a phone until 6th grade, but you'd better believe I'd be giving an elementary kid a phone now. There is a lot of collective anxiety that is harmful, but when it comes to school shootings it's completely warranted. [/quote]
