Uh, he's right. The district I work for has that policy: "All cell phones and electronic devices must be stored out of sight while in the classroom. The unauthorized use or operation of cell phone or other electronic device will result in confiscation."

Wait, I disagree with this guy a lot. But what’s wrong with what he’s saying. Students should not be on their phones during classes. Is this a controversial take??

Imagine if Ron DeSantis cared this much about what guns were doing to Florida schools as he does cellphones, gay teachers, and history books.

I oddly agree

No thanks. If I had children in school, I would want that they have a cell phone in case of emergency...such as the school shooting that occurred again today.
