Why did they allow them in?
I remember we weren’t allowed to and our phones weren’t even as capable when they were “dumb”.
I’m just guessing that stories of kids trapped in classrooms during school shootings had something to do with it.
But that is purely a guess.
Here in Europe many schools are doing this too. As a father of an (almost) teenger, I’m they are.
