My kid is not going to the murder factory without a phone. I'd be happy to scream at someone in a room over it. Guarantee my kid's safety or they're bringing a phone.
Not to be a jackass but what will their phone help with in this supposed murder factory? If ur so worried about a shooter or something, it's not like the phone puts them in an invincibility bubble or something.
IDK man how could having 300 portable, accessible ways to call 911 in a shooter emergency possibly help in that moment?
C'mon guys help me figure out this MENSA-level brain-twister.
Having students alert 911 in that situation is insane. Their priority should be either running away or hiding, neither of which is helped by getting on a phone call. If that's the point hire someone whose job is 100% just doing that and make everyone safer for it.
How else are the kids going to call a waymo to get away?
Do I need the ./s?
