Why don't they just jam them?
- askvictor 2y agoReally hard to contain that to a specific area, and you end up interfering with outside the school, possibly preventing people from calling emergency services.
- stavros 2y agoPresumably the teachers still need their phones.
- swayvil 2y agoI'd jam the cell signal and force them to go through the school wifi. Then they could control permissions.
- stavros 2y agoThe article says the problem is them recording video of kids bullying other kids, which won't be fixed by signal jamming, plus then you're screwed in an emergency.
- swayvil 2y agoThat'll teach me to consume 3rdhand news. :) But ya, if we were a little more totalitarian we could just flip a few settings in their phone via the school admin control. Do we trust each other or don't we? So schizo.
- Spivak 2y agoBecause cell jamming is illegal?
- Novosell 2y agoWe're in a thread about passing laws though.
- smogcutter 2y agoAside from the hundred and one obvious reasons that’s a pointlessly complex solution that would cause it’s own problems, if you think about it for even a moment I bet you can come up with some ways for a pocket camera and video game to be disruptive in school even without signal.
- Dansvidania 2y agoI would argue that it'd defeat the purpose in terms of teaching children delayed gratification.
- wiseowise 2y agoBecause phones can operate without signal?
- ceejayoz 2y agoThat gets you serious Federal felonies in the US. Prisons can’t even jam cell phones.
