The teachers were able to smoke inside in the teachers lounge. They didn't have to stand outside in the rain and snow. But then again I remember shopping carts with built in ashtrays, along with them built into the armrests at movie theaters. And ashtrays at the Drs office. Last one of those I seen was late 80s early 90s.
Constantly growing pot? Really? The courtyard at the schools I've known have always been mown, not quite sure how you could grow pot under those conditions.
It really sounds crazy to think about what once was. My earliest memories of a grocery store involved a lady shopping while smoking a cigarette. She flipped her ashes on the floor. Yuk! A McDondalds now stands where that grocery store used to be at tenth and Bosart. Smoking at the office, smoking on a plane, etc. and yet the world didn't end. I think the phone at school should probably be treated like cigarettes back then, use when appropriate and allowed.
The grocery store with the ashtrays built into the carts is still there, this was also when they didn't just have baggers if you're lucky. They had carryouts, groceries would get bagged put on separate cart, taken outside and loaded into your car. Strake's at 45th and cline. I think they still have carryouts, but not sure.

Change cellphone to anything else, same result. Cigarettes, vape, etc. It's not the cellphone that was the problem here.Want teachers to take away a students phone If misused?
I think it is a good idea to allow it but impossible to manage it.
8th Grade Student Arrested on Felony Charges After Repeatedly Punching a Teacher and Slamming Her Head on Desk Because She Confiscated His Phone
An eighth-grade student was captured on video attacking his teacher in her classroom. The student, who was upset because the teacher took his phone, has
Troglodyte!
Maybe, maybe not. My local schools had/have something that sounds similar. LaJessie (or something like that) aids. Most were retired people. The college students were teacher aids and got college credit.
Was gum chewing utterly unenforceable? It wasn't when I was in school. Did kids do it and get away with it? Sometimes, other times parents were called and after school detention was had. Usually involving a putty knife and the bottom of desks.Helicopter parents absolutely freaking out over their spawn potentially being out of contact for five minutes.
Oh well. It's utterly unenforceable, you'd have to stop class every five minutes to pry one out of a kid's hand.
My mom did it for the same reason. But got burnt out I guess you could say. Student she had she had to sit there and tell her don't do your nails do your school work, repeatedly. When you sit in the front row in a skirt quit flashing the teacher your panties (at the request of several teachers). Among other things. She said the girl was smart enough to do work, just didn't care. Her plan was to get knocked up and have the baby daddy take care of her. And that was in her own words. And for those wondering, very majority white rural area.
When you show kids that you trust them, the majority act trustworthy.
This was the policy where I was an aide for several years. I have posted before about running the In School Suspension class. Had a lot of students for this.I think it makes one question the teachers and administration.
I DO NOT want my kids to have to lose communication capability, because staff cannot adequately discipline.
My child or grandchild touches their phone in class, they are...
- verbally warned the first time
- sent to the office for written warning, the second time
- suspended the third offense
Seems pretty simple. School is about learning. Please teach my children!
I can appreciate that idea, but this policy didn’t come from nowhere.
