Reply to comment by coolducklingcool in Connecticut teachers, what problems are you facing with your students now? by PettyWitch

It always kills me how people will be like “I can’t believe the school won’t forcibly take the phone from my child” when I suggest simply taking it themselves and sending them off with a flip tracphone or something similar for emergencies I get scoffed at lol.

It's 2023. No parent can ensure their kid doesn't have access to a smartphone.

It’s literally as simple as not providing one and asking the teacher to let them know if a friend gives them one during class. Then of course following up with consequences if that does happen. A lot of parents just don’t want to parent.
