      Teachers are hamstrung by administration.

      “You can’t write up a kid for watching tiktoks in class, you have to call their parent.”

      “Okay what if the parent doesn’t answer/doesn’t care?”

      “You can ask the kid to put it away.”

      “What if they won’t? Can I take it away? Can I kick them out if they’re watching porn on full volume?”

      “Nope.”

        If not allowing phones during class doesnt work, why would kids stop using phones during class by banning phones during breaks?

          They shouldn’t have them at all.

          It’s a huge liability issue - I guarantee every large high school in the nation has a group chat where nudes are shared.

          Children should not have unsupervised internet access. It’s insane we went from the “family computer in the living room” model to 6 year olds watching porn on their iPad in the backseat of a car.
