Question
Do y'all think this is a chicken egg thing?
Like were we already trending towards this direction with technology and the times
OR
are phones more prevalent in schools cause kids can now contact parents in the event of a school shooting?
While you hope it never happens, you want your kids to be able to reach you in the event some shit pop off?
The problem with the last part is...parents aren't just using phones to call kids during emergencies. If it was for that alone nobody would have an issue because phones wouldn't be out during normal class time. And if a parent needs to reach the school or their child for something then they can do what parents did for decades before that and call the school office.
