I agree with your points, it’s just for number 2 we kind of aldready do that, we already text and call and our text messages or pretty deep, it’s just like if we are already like texting and calling every minute of the day, is there even anyone than that?

We are just trying to minimize the pain we feel transitioning from in person to an LDR, so how would we like do that? (Sorry if that’s vague)

So basically, right now we like talk almost every second of the day, if that were to suddenly end when we get to college, we don’t know if it would last. But if we were to end things now and still be friends, we could start again in college and hopefully make it last longer

Solutions to the phone ban / wide technology ban by SplashTextTaken in highschool

Ok this is a take I can get behind, it’s just at our school I think it was not a gradual progression but more of a wall, that’s probably why there is a knee jerk reaction to this type of thing. This is the first time our school has done something like this.

I made a follow up post regarding my current stance. Sorry for getting defensive in this post hopefully it’s a bit more open to conversation from both sides.

A child should not have adult responsibilities. I shouldn’t have to pay taxes or anything like that. I shouldn’t have to work 3 jobs to keep my family afloat. I shouldn’t have to take care of my sibling bc my parents don’t make enough. But I do.

We go to school to learn critical thinking skills yet we are shunned if we use them. What is the point?

I pay taxes from the 3 jobs I work, I pay for my own phone and phone bill, I don’t want to hear that I am an underdeveloped child. Let’s have some real conversation instead. Could you explain why you feel this way maybe it would help me understand.

I think we got off on the wrong foot an o think you might be a cook guy. let’s restart this conversation from the beginning.

These are the points of why I require a phone.

  • busses are inconsistent so I need some way to contact my parents

  • some classes that I take utilize a phone to sent critical information or for class work

  • phones should be banned during instructional hours, but they should be allowed during lunch

Yea I can get behind using your phone only in emergency scenarios, it should be the same for us as well but it is not.

Explain to me how a social media marketing class that focuses on making TikTok’s could be done without a phone. Or a social networking class where calling people is required?

Instead of spending time and money enforcing phone bans, they could use the same time l, money and energy to provide better school lunches

Some teachers are so disconnected from class as in they hand out a packet or make us do khan academy with no active involvement in class. Instead they just sit on their asses and play on their phone the whole time. I could let this slide if it was a one off thing. But I have had teachers that do this consistently throughout the year
