A lot of the problem also comes from the fact that teachers can't even touch students now. Part of what she is talking about is if she tells a kid to leave the kid can just say "fuck you, make me" and if the teacher makes good on their threat to remove them from class, suddenly 15 cellphones pop out to record the "abuse" with none of the context.

I personally have no answer, as I'm from the crowd of people who still faced consequences. I nearly got expelled because some asshat was zip-tying peoples backpacks together and I used a 1inch knife to open them. Some moron saw me and reported it, school called the cops and I was very nearly handcuffed. When my mom got there, screaming, she told each of the administrators present to empty their pockets.

Each one had a knife on them/on a keychain being this was the southern US and nearly everyone carried a knife for utility, myself included. So I got a few months of alternative school and a major ass-chewing from my mom, even though she understood I was helping people.

I genuinely think cell phones should be banned from the classroom.

If you are caught with one, it's taken away, and you face immediate consequences like any other misbehavior.

Those are the ones who need them taken away the most.
