Indiana students will need to put their phones away during class under a law that requires districts to ban communication devices from class.

Indiana just passed legislation to require schools to ban phones.

They permit them for health reasons, emergencies, when part of lesson, and when part of a formal plan.

I personally don’t like the idea of schools requiring locking them up. What would you do in that emergency they mentioned?

Why should kids not be able to use them at lunch?

If you want to control your kid’s phone time, there’s already apps for that.

Edit: additional comment from a teacher: she said the phone restrictions aren’t going to be as effective as one would think with all the kids having watches with data plans. Dude…

    That’s a good example.

    It’s hard for me to fathom having to explain at all how it was wrong. Apply that to most issues of discrimination.

    History without context is a bit like telling someone from another country there’s a colts vs patriots game and them wondering why that matters (it doesn’t, I don’t like sports that much, but local people generally understand the huge rivalry). Other people wouldnt, so it wouldn’t have much gravity without context.
