You understand that a lot of communication in that scenario can, at worst, lead to crucial misinformation about what's going on and, at best, is unnecessary, don't you?
Obviously, these shootings happen, but the solution is not to arm each student with a cell phone, just as it sure as hell isn't to arm each teacher with a firearm.
The detrimental effects of cell phone usage in the classroom are well documented and plain as day if you just walk into a high school or middle school lesson. Even with highly engaging teachers and lessons, there are kids who slip through the cracks because nobody can compete with the newest fad app designed to melt a child's brain and possibly drain their parent's bank accounts.
This move addresses a significant issue within our school system. Addressing gun violence in the US is a very complex issue that needs to be tackled through a lot of different fronts. Kids having smart phones in school will not address that issue.
What's with the fetishization of school shootings in this thread?
This whole argument is weird. Kids don't need smart phones in school. Is your argument that we should let kids have smart phones so they can call their parents if there is ever a school shooting? Do you think every kid should be prepared for imminent death at all times in the classroom? What's the actual argument?
I'm stating that smart phones are a net negative to any learning environment and there are already effective modes of communication within schools.
Am I seeing this right that they put that one monitor up just enough to be above a cat laying in the bed? I feel like that's either perfect engineering or just a challenge to the cat to continue getting in the way of computer use lol
I will say that the placement between the screen and the keyboard is making me think about doing something similar with my setup, though.
Your elderly relative is a piece of shit. Put him outside.
Edit: Also, take the cat to a vet and start thinking about end of life care for this sweet kitty and whether you want to lift a finger for your relative once he's in a similar position.

She's at least 15 now, and can't make it to the box. ( lemmy.world )
My elderly relative is already growing frustrated with her. He suggested putting her outside again.
