    How? My first thought was this is good. Kids should have to be in the classroom when they’re in the classroom and not on the internet.

      they said it themselves, parents dont want this. I dont want this for my kids. so they will be fighting both the parents and the students for enforcement. theres going to be a constant tit for tat… administrative churn from enforcement of some stupid state law. what is or isnt a ‘simple device’.

      the reality is, this is a per-classroom thing plenty of teachers currently have a handle on. the teachers that do have a problem with phones just basket them as they walk in. the problem for phone distractions at the classroom level has been solved, per-teacher.

      you dont need special rules laws to send a disruptive internet surfing kid to the office.

      i dont want the state telling me my kid cant carry the device i gave them. they have plenty of real problems to solve.
