For enclosed schools, it surprises me they don’t just faraday cage all the rooms, and then run school-controlled wifi.
But in my day, teachers freaked out about electronic calculators and word processors. I’d think the appropriate thing to do is integrate smart-phone use into curricula. If your kids are texting, then your teaching model sucks.
But here in the states, we already know our teaching model sucks, because the state doesn’t take it seriously and gives zero fucks about kids until they can be loaded with debt and can serve as a laborer or soldier for billionaire vanity projects.
I sure you arent being serious, but farday caging the rooms would likely be highly illegal, blocking emergency cell calls and other emergency signals (like radio and gps) is a big ol no no.
The Cliff House in San Francisco is a Faraday cage. Phones in the restaurant get no signal. They’re completely legal in the United States.
