How much time have you spent teaching high school?
// here their devices are locked inside the pouch with a magnetic key. //
Soo....what do they do if the kid just says, "I don't have a cell phone?" Which I guarantee 90% of them do. I'll tell you what they do--nothing. You can pass laws, you can spend money, but unless there is actual *enforcement* it's just kabuki.
// spent about $120,000 implementing the measure //
sigh Texas is hiring uncertified instructors to be teachers. Texas is increasing class sizes. There are schools operating without a library. Budgets are being cut in real terms. And they are cutting bus routes, so some students have no reliable way to get to school.
But yet, this school just had to pay $120k--and they bought absolutely no *enforcement*.
// Texas does not pass much of anything that could be grouped with "just to make people feel like their government is actually doing something". //
Sorry man, you've just been scammed.

The state not passing laws that are actually useful to regular people is doing the very something their voters wanted. Its the local elections between the big ones that do things here. Your take was an interesting and fun read though > How much time have you spent teaching high school? More time than you took reading the article, otherwise you wouldn’t have wasted the cycles posting this reply full of nonsense assumptions and questions that the article would have straighten out for ya
