These kids absolutely know it's wrong. Stop enabling bullies. The kids should NOT get a pass for this just because some corporation did something wrong first.

People don't really know how their cars work either, but they are still responsible for crimes they commit with them.

Well, except for running over cyclists. They are allowed to do that.

I think it's trying to imply that Only a sociopath wouldn't understand the mechanism.

The guy in the picture is Dokes from the TV show Dexter. He's the only one that recognized there was something wrong with Dexter.

It's true, the bathroom connected to our guest bedroom doesn't get a lot of use. We keep that lid up with the bathroom door closed (to keep the cats out of the water) to avoid the mold. I've never encountered that problem on a toilet used even once a week though.

Ahh, the Two-State Solution to peace.

Everyone closes the lid completely when they're done. Problem solved. Equality established. World peace flourishes.

But it IS changing everything, and not in a good way

Ok, but what about two beavers?

Ok... That exactly what I said in the comment you replied to. You are just angrily agreeing with me now.

The only part that differs is that this bill preemptively takes the phone from them, even if they have a good history of using it responsibly. That's the part I disagree with. Take the phone only when there is a history of abuse from a particular student, not all the time, every time.

Except that's not how phones actually work in the "real" world. Adults have phones on them all the time (with very few exceptions). There aren't "phone police" preemptively taking their phones from them during meetings. They need to learn self control, and forcing them not to have the phone available doesn't teach that. I'm all for making them put their phone in a basket for a time period if they show they can't control themselves, that teaches them, but it shouldn't be the default.
