This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
A thief would make more money stealing the lockers than the phones.
Fantastic news, I’m glad they’re proactively seeking solutions
Our KS district is just 100% no devices and no announcement about lockers like in the article. Just an expectation that school landlines will be available when needed, and I forsee that going terribly.
Landlines worked fine for a century or so. Any specific reason you think they wouldn’t work today?
I can do it for $149k
I'm seeing alot of comments about how this will or won't work for how much the price is, but this made me think of something else.
Don't we give kids chromebooks/devices anyway. I assume the point of these lockers is to force kids to pay attention, but chromebooks are waaaaaay worst than any phone a parent gave them.
You can threaten a kid to take their phone away, but you can almost argue you can't take the chromebook away because that's where all their assignments, tasks, books, notes, etc are all stored. And from my experience, people were always goofing off on other sites or playing games. Unless the school is able to monitor and lock down those chromebooks (which if we're being honest, have the bare minimum of parental controls), then this is just throwing money at a fire instead of, I dunno, paying teachers better to actually help kids learn instead of moderating their tiktok addictions
