If a child says they don’t have any cigarettes or a knife etc. etc. are you going to search them?
Most kids follow the rules. A few troublemakers with phones won’t make a difference and can be easily handled by existing disciplinary actions.

- lovecg 2y agoI do, do you? I also used to be a kid myself. What does lifetime use have to do with smoking _on school property_?
- scarface_74 2y agoSo you think kids “follow the rules” and “say no to drugs”, don’t engage in underaged drinking, don’t lie and say they are over 18 to view porn etc?
- lovecg 2y agoOf course not. This is not some rhetorical gotcha you think it is, there’s a huge difference between rules like “don’t use a phone in class” and “don’t drink alcohol ever in your life anywhere”.
- scarface_74 2y agoI fail to see the difference in “kids following the rules in this one specific case” and statistically we know that kids usually don’t follow the rules that adults set for them if they can get away with it. Heck even when I was in school kids had beepers (late 80s - early 90s) when they were not allowed to.
- consteval 2y agoNo, but they are punished for those. I remember, kids used to smoke in schools. They got detention and their parents were told. I don't get it, people break rules so just don't have them? What? Why would we do that?
