Sure, we give the kids alcohol, let them drive, let them vote- wait we don't!? What do you mean there's always been these kinds of differences!?

There's nothing new about children and adults being treated differently.
It’s not about role modeling. It’s about learning and attention spans.
With that in mind, take them from the adults too lol. I know some adults who are chronically online
Funny how that doesn't apply to literally anything else
Adults are more responsible than children. Responsibility comes with privileges.
I turn my phone off , or at least, don't answer it when I'm getting paid to do something else.
Are 'critics'' in conntucut defrauding their employers, or do they just not have real jobs?
lol this has to be bait. Employee wage theft is highest theft by a long shot.
sooooo apply the same rules to the adults? here's my old man yells at cloud moment but you don't need your cell phone in school. I got through my entire schooling without one, teachers didn't have one. if there was an emergency or you needed to make a call well that's what the front office was for.
I mean hell in high school kids just had pagers and if a teacher caught you looking at it during class they'd just take it away.
