Shitty fuckin comparison. Its obviously a vastly different world now than it was then. Glad you enjoyed not having a phone, but fuck making modern kids abide by the way it was for us decades ago

Who TF said anything about “enjoyed?” Children *necessarily* don’t have the same rights as adults. What specifically about the world today necessitates a positive right to cell phones that didn’t exist previously?

And what of kids incessantly talking? The remedy is send them out/some form of nullifying action, no? The same doesnt work for improper phone use? Im not advocating for kids blasting soundcloud or whatever in class,but we dont have to act like distracting behavior is entirely different with a phone

SoundCloud!? Tell me that you’re not responsible for any children without telling me that you’re not responsible for any children…

So you think childrens right should be negative by default? Fuck that, if it doesnt hurt anyone or create a safety concern, where do we draw the line? Are the clocks and windows not also distracting? I dont think we should have kids being used to being institutionalized automatons

So you don’t know what “positive” vs. “negative” rights are. How am I not surprised? 🙄 We ALREADY know that this hurts people—*the children who are trying to use phones at school.* *By your own standards,* phones should be banned for children at school.

Yeah you got me there, i misunderstood I thought it meant negative= taking away freedom, vs positive= the right to do what you want so long as it wasnt affecting others if you have a kid using a phone in class and distracting others, not good. But why wouldnt we treat the same as talking out of turn
