Do teachers not confiscate any phones they see out during class time anymore?
Serious question.
I was leaving school back when the earliest smartphones were just becoming common, and it was an issue even then. Pretty straightforward, undebatable solution though. This has me wondering now, did modern helicopter parents protest taking a child’s phone away by arguing it removed their ability to contact emergency services in an accident, or their parents if abused by a teacher… or things similarly only going to happen once for every 100,000 times the kid is playing with their phone instead of paying attention to the teacher?

We didn’t have any cellphones when I was in school. The only possible distraction was an AM/FM radio with earphone (mono).
And the Tasmanian she-devil and the big-bellied bunyip have no idea what she’s talking about.
I’m surprised her phone is not lying on the dinner table. I thought she was determined to answer the question as soon as she put it down.
