    Don’t worry, you’re right.

    There’s a very vocal subset on Lemmy who think that any issue children have must be the parents/teachers fault, and that no blanket rules should exist. It’s weird.

        Children not being allowed to have a phone in class isn’t an extreme overstep against rights.

        Access to a pocket size computer whenever you want isn’t an unalienable right.

          If you own a pocket sized computer than you should be able to use it when ever you want.

          It’s not an extreme overstep, but as we can literally see right now in this thread, it normalizes the loss of rights.

          There’s another solution to banning phones without needing to ban phones; Fund our school properly so that our children get the attention and proper classrooms that they need. Of course it’s easier to ban phones in classrooms of 30 - 50, because then they don’t need to actually pay the teachers to care, or provide the resources necessary for creating a productive classroom.
