Indiana students will need to put their phones away during class under a law that requires districts to ban communication devices from class.

Indiana just passed legislation to require schools to ban phones.

They permit them for health reasons, emergencies, when part of lesson, and when part of a formal plan.

I personally don’t like the idea of schools requiring locking them up. What would you do in that emergency they mentioned?

Why should kids not be able to use them at lunch?

If you want to control your kid’s phone time, there’s already apps for that.

Edit: additional comment from a teacher: she said the phone restrictions aren’t going to be as effective as one would think with all the kids having watches with data plans. Dude…

    Un-schoolers typically have better outcomes than public-school kids, and you are confusing them for the products of religious schools. No one who thinks as you are inferring is going to give their kids any intellectual freedom.

      Homeschooled children are consistently the least educated and least prepared for the modern world, including our capitalist-slavery system of indentured (be profitable to someone else or die) employment. The vast majority of them will either slide into extreme poverty or will never be able to extricate themselves from it.
