Iowa Gov. Reynolds to pitch barring students from having cellphones in classrooms

The reverse can also be said. During an active shooter situation including the safe evacuation of kids and staff, kids with cell phones (or trying to retrieve their cell phone) is a very bad idea.
In this WorldStar era, half the kids would be recording the school shooter.
I'm not saying the parent concerns are correct, but I do understand them.
It only took her about 5,000 bad decisions to finally come up with a good one. Great idea.
Then it becomes another job for the teacher to keep track of student phones. Quickly, a student with a cracked screen will put it in her desk, and then claim it was fine when he put it in there.
And that's another argument I can see parents using considering that many videos have been shared on social media of teachers/staff saying or doing things some parents find objectionable.
not sure why they still need to be catered to. We’ll give you a good grade if you don’t use your phone it class. I should try that with my boss. I won’t go on my phone and get to avoid hawkeye beacon if you give me a $1 an hour more for me not being on my phone for that hour, day, week whatever it needs to be.
Then my boss wouldn’t be able to text me non stop with work stuff as well.
Another reason the union should support the ban.
It speaks to what the OP posted regarding banning cell phones from classroom, campuses etc. I live in super lib LA County. As it stands phones are kids personal property. No way a teacher could take a kids $1000 phone from them in today’s world. Most kids will do the right thing, but the minority DGAF and do what they want to do.
That’s why you don’t allow them to take them to the classroom. If they think they will be stolen in their locker don’t take them to school. Pretty sure schools still have phone numbers that the parents can call in the case of an emergency. Time to stop babying kids.
Why should the teacher's union trust a damn thing said by the governor?
Even with a topic everyone thinks would be better for kids. You have to come on here and cry about the governor. You are one pathetic loser.
Anything to not say they like the Idea of a person with an R by their name
As a hardline conservative it’s refreshing having conversations with folks that have never experienced mind numbing LA County rule. Parents would go ballistic if their kids were banned from bringing their phones to school. I’m lucky, my kids are in mostly Honors classes and get straight A’s. They wouldn’t think about getting on their phones during class. My oldest is learning to drive, as a parent if she wasn’t able to take her phone with her to school, that’d be an issue. My kids are involved in a ton of after school activities, if they were unable to call/text us, we’d never know when to pick them up. Problem starts and ends with the parents. Bad parenting = bad kids.
Personally I don't think this is a good idea. Too much second guessing every time a teacher makes Jr. do something they don't want to do. Too easy for kids to record half the story.
Good teachers are hard enough to find....don't chase more of them away because they will always be under the thumb of a parent whose child can never do wrong.
I agree, I'm just playing devil's advocate with a policy that should be popular with teachers and parents, but I believe will receive push back from the parental side.
I'm responding to northern whining about the teacher's union. Perhaps you should have paid better attention to those teachers when they were going over reading comprehension.Even with a topic everyone thinks would be better for kids. You have to come on here and cry about the governor. You are one pathetic loser.
Now run along, dunce.
Agreed. Resign after this.
Iowa Gov. Reynolds to pitch barring students from having cellphones in classrooms
At least eight states have such bans, which proponents say prevent students from being distracted during school instruction time and also help address concerns about students’ mental health.www.thegazette.com

Dick head.
You'd be a good leading contender for this program.
No, the incoming joke of a President absolutely.
Haven't read the whole thread, but I'm pretty sure she will make private schools exempt from this ban.
Of course, according to Iowa Republicans private schools can have no regulations because they are businesses.
you were bitching about Reynolds and republicans as usual. You can’t something being good if your cult didn’t come up with it.
You should really read the thread again. Slowly. Sound out the big words.you were bitching about Reynolds and republicans as usual. You can’t something being good if your cult didn’t come up with it.
I said in my first post I'm not against this. I pushed back on northerns whiny comment about the teacher's union. Then you decided to white knight for northern. I hope your running form is good, otherwise he'll still want nothing to do with you.
I'm totally down with this. The only thing missing is exchanging handguns for each phone. The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is 500 teenagers with guns. Amiright?
Kids should not have phones in the classroom. The details can be worked out.
It is important to allow children’s brains to develop some personal and social skills, for at least during a controlled period of their day. Or else we’re going to lose that soon.

Our school district imposed a ban on phones starting this year. Personally, and I mean just for my family, I am glad my son graduated last year. He hated school. Zero point zero chance he was going to college. It was nice to be able to reach him at any time.
Now he's working full time and he's been saving 10 percent of every dollar he's made since 3rd grade. Him having his phone all day had no effect on his schooling or his future success whatsoever. I know that is not the case for everyone.

My kids were 90’s kids with pagers (LOL that’s old) and pagers weren’t allowed inside the school period. Locked in cars - mostly trunks. Confiscated pagers spent the day in the Assistant Principal’s office and repeat offenders got ISS and a call to the parents.
Need to do a similar thing with phones.
Kim is too late! Des Moines Public Schools hit the jump on her at Hoover High starting this school year. I believe the entire District is ready to adopt Hoover’s plan very shortly. Of course Kim will sweep in and claim credit for this idea… which is really a “district by district” decision… but Kim is big in “the mother state” ….imagine the crap that would hit the ceiling ( from Republicans) if this legislation would be suggested by a Democrat?
Through high school, I'd say smart phones have no place in the classroom, so I fully support banning them. Use laptops or tablets, especially if they can be restricted to academic content only. Make them keep their phones in their lockers, can be used in between class or the cafeteria at lunch. Parents will have to resort to the old-school means of calling the school if they need to reach their kids urgently. Make sure classrooms have some kind of regular hardwired phone and/or radio for emergencies, which all mine always had phones.
Now we just got to figure out a way to restrict kids from using AI for all their homework. We are quickly building the next generation of tech dependent kids that just Google or ask AI for everything and don't actually learn anything.
