Banning cell phones in school while school shootings are a regular occurrence is top tier decision making
Students can keep a phone in their bag if they really need it. The fact that we ever allowed kids to scroll instead of paying attention in class is absurd.
I haven’t been to school in a while, but we had smartphones when I did. And if we took up our phones in class we got called out by the teacher.
My kids school “boxes” phones if you’re caught using them or they interrupt class. They lock them inside a clear plastic case and let you carry that.
This avoids liability because the kid still has possession of their phone and can still see an emergency text or call. The can’t interact with the phone but can get a teacher to unlock if there’s a visible emergency text
Thankfully, there’s an official standard for using the internet with just carrier pigeons: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
“…this technology suffers from extremely high latency.”
And high packet loss.
You know, pigeons probably do have relatively high latency but I bet a carrier pigeon could carry at least three SD cards, meaning a pigeon has hella bandwidth.
Bandwidth is also impacted by distance though, across a school or town it would be incredibly high speed.
Truck bandwidth
That kid who asked about radios should be given a scholarship to a STEM degree. Also the kids who asked about using smoke signals and pigeons have mad creativity. The stock kid? Well he probably has more financial accumen than most Wallstreet punks.
The kid with the replacement dilemma? Forget philosophy. That is lawyer material right there.
That reminds me of my previous work. We couldn’t but PCs from our project budget, because they are classified along furniture (because they should outlive the duration of a project), but we can buy replacement/repair parts. So yeah… Enough replacement parts make for a new PC.
I want to see the answers on the right.
Just have to zoom out a little, nothing to it.
From the last answer, it sounds like they would only need to turn in their SIM card.
Should have run the responses by the staff member nobody likes to play against on board game night.
I feel attacked
I know that tone of “Let’s talk.”
Kid, if anything ever goes wrong that requires intelligence, you are now in a very short of list of kids to blame first.
