I’m not sure why comments would be left for the first one on this list. Sorry, but it did not make sense at all. Why do elementary students need a phone? My daughter is 14, and she doesn’t have a telephone yet, as it would be too much of a distraction, and she doesn’t have the discipline to resist it. This is the reason for the new law: children lack the discipline to resist using their devices. When you try to restrict it, it’s like taking a drug away from a person with an addiction. My daughter, on the other hand, has an Apple Watch that she can use to receive calls. If children need a phone, give them a watch that they cannot use for social media and other activities that can be accessed on a phone.

Teachers and administrative staff have cell phone in hand, plus hand held radio communications. Your student needs to leave his or her’s cell phone home. Having it active during a lock down is a distraction to staying low and staying quiet. High Schools in FL should also ban cell phone use during class hours. Some schools have. Not one FL student has died because they did not have their cell phone with them. Cell phones are a huge distraction that disrupts learning and achievement. Sexual predators use cell phones to lure girls out of class and out of a school building for pick up. It has happened at our school several times.

Why would a student need to use their cell phone? Its a lockdown.

Would be better with initiatives for 1. state constitutional amendments 2. state statutory amendments (which could be overturned by simple majority of state legislature) 3. proposed federal constitutional amendments to recommend to the convention of states.
