What's with the fetishization of school shootings in this thread?
This whole argument is weird. Kids don't need smart phones in school. Is your argument that we should let kids have smart phones so they can call their parents if there is ever a school shooting? Do you think every kid should be prepared for imminent death at all times in the classroom? What's the actual argument?
I'm stating that smart phones are a net negative to any learning environment and there are already effective modes of communication within schools.
I was responding to the point being made that smartphones are a detriment during a school shooting due to students sharing misinformation.
