    Parents lose their minds if they can’t contact their child at any moment. Some schools/teachers ban them already but I imagine some PTA meetings about this will be total shitshows.

      And rightfully so! Every student in school died horribly before cell phones existed.

        I mean…American schools do have somewhat of a reputation… I can kinda see why parents would want their child to be able to contact them in an emergency.

          I suppose I’d be worried, too, if I was sending my kids to a war zone on a daily basis.
