I agree if it's done in the classrooms with the ability to use them in emergencies. Yes there should be some type of punishment if they are used in non emergency situations. Perhaps the loss of the privilege to have a phone at all on campus. This should teach responsibilities most need to learn.
As a retired teacher, I have found that cellphones are very distracting in the classroom. Their benefits are far more outweighed by their detriments. In emergencies, school telephones are available for incoming and outgoing calls.
Not only are cell phones a distraction to students and staff during school time, research is increasingly showing the detrimental effect smart phone use is having on juvenile mental health. It is a new drug and we owe it to our kids to be responsible in recognizing this and regulating its use.
We must support the laws of our country. The LA Mayor should have stopped it in the beginning and the governor Newsom has run California backrupt. Businesses are leaving and the cost of living in California is a direct result of his policies. Riots are not the way to let your views be heard.
Please be reminded that not all laws are humane. Did you forget about the laws allowing my grandparents to be raped and molested solely because they were slaves from Africa. I support laws that respect humanity. Perhaps you should consider the same. Solely supporting laws is just a cop out.
It's should never be a crime to seek ways to support you and your familes life. Don't forget, and please do not be fooled, A significant majority of undocumented immigrants are here to help our country as we help them with fair wages. Why is that a crime? If so, it's a bad law.
It is a blatant violation of the Constitution. The protests in Los Angeles are not a rebellion. They are not ann insurrection. Jan6 WAS an insurrection. Tossing words like rebellion and insurrection around without regard for the truth is not only dangerous, it is reprehensible.
It is purely political, Trump creates the problem, then takes credit for solving it--all to divert attention the real problems he is either incapable of solving or refuses to resolve.
The LAPD had everything under control. All 'The No Do Gooders", (quote by president Bush"), will be arrested! And they should be! However, the dictator now in the White House, instigated the protesters and the bad people to go down an ugly path. His lies are very dangerous.
It is against our constitution for the military to be used against its citizens and the Felon in Chief needs permission from the Governor to bring in the National Guard. Everything this administration does is to cause us to fight with each other and cause Chaos so he has a reason to break the law.
The military is highly trained group whose mission is to protect the US abroad. Their equipment is not styled for civil intervention. They train for war. Even the National Guard isn't really isn't the best choice for crowd control. Local police usually can control these situations.
ICE activity creates fear in our community. Deploying the CA national guard against the wishes of our governor and LA mayor is authoritarian and erodes the foundations of our democracy. The federal government is trampling on the states rights of CA. If they do it here every state is at risk.

ReplyThey are distraction to a students ability to concentrate and learn in class. And getting a good education is the key to their future success in life.
ReplyWhen in school, at work, in church, etc should not be distracted with phones. There is a time and place; school is not the place to use phones.
