It’s no different than sleeping through class or just doodling and ignoring the teacher.
And there you have it folks, doodling is the same as these social media apps designed to be addictive that also lead to all kinds of bullying and social anxieties and harassment.
Agreements and enforcement are two different things. Have you talked to any teachers about how this plays out?
The problem with this position is that your child being a victim of a school shooting is extremely rare. Phones are ubiquitous. You're trading the risk of something that will likely not happen to any one student (and won't really help anything anyway), for a near guaranteed risk of serious damage to many kids education.
Anyone can introduce a bill, including you. Only the legislature's vote on it counts.
so that parents and school staff are all on the same page.
That's the problem, they aren't on the same page. Teachers and admins have to live in the reality of kids having these devices in school, while parents just live in the anxiety of the very rare "what if something happens?"
You text during class you get told to stop, happens again you get detention/thrown out of class/sent to the dean and eventually thrown out of the school. Always was that way. No need for laws around it.
It's more complicated. Teachers can't take away the phone because it's an expensive piece of property and it opens all kinds of doors for the school being liable if it goes missing or gets broken. Not to mention if something does happen, the parents might sue the school.
And we aren't talking about mere distractions, but things designed to keep kids addicted to them. You're pitting school teachers and admins trying to get kids to pay attention to something often found as boring, against billion dollar businesses pushing punping money into keeping and grabbing kid's attention. Plus having kids miss school because of a cell phone just doesn't make sense, especially if the parents are pushing the kid to bring it.
The law just makes it clear and reduces liability for the school, and it's better for kids.
I wish the world were the way our describe it, and that would work. But it doesn't.

Sure, but NFTs did not generate this many shovels being sold.
I just don't get this. There has not been some huge leap in processing power over the past few years, but there has been in generative AI. parallel processing, on the other hand, has been around for decades.
I just don't know how one can look at this and think there hasn't been some big step forward in ai, but instead claim it's all processing power. I think it's pretty obvious that there has been some huge leap in the generative AI world.
Also I've been incorporating it more and more. It boggles my mind that someone would look at this and seea passing fad.
I think we're in an ai bubble because Nvidia is way over valued and I agree with you that often people flock to shiny new things and many people are taking risk with the hope of making it big...and many will get left holding the bag.
But how do you go from NFTs, which never had widespread market support, to the market pumping a trillion dollars into Nvidia alone? This makes no sense. And to down play this as "just a bullshitter" leads me to believe you have like zero real world experience with this. I use copilot for coding and it's been a boost to productivity for me, and I'm a seasoned vet. Even the ai search results, which many times have left me scratching my head, have been a net benefit to me in time savings.
And this is all still pretty new.
While I think there it is over hyped and people are being ridiculous with how much this will change things, at the very least this is going to be a huge new tool, and I think you're setting yourself up to be left behind if you aren't embracing this and learning how to leverage it.
Why the fuck are you even responding to me at this point?
Because I'm wondering how far you'll go before you'll admit that you were just wrong and made a mistake. Apparently, you're ego is so fragile that you'll leave before doing that, and blame me on the way out.
Funny. You are displaying all the traits you claim to hate about me.
You said it was the same as doodling. I responded to that. All that other stuff you added was just fabricated in your own head.
