Why did they allow them in?
I remember we weren’t allowed to and our phones weren’t even as capable when they were “dumb”.
I'm just guessing that stories of kids trapped in classrooms during school shootings had something to do with it.
But that is purely a guess.
It's a tough choice, right? Do we want our kids to be independent and capable during emergencies or do we want them tightly controlled and incommunicado at their desks?
