Published 2024-07-11
"...no communication devices allowed during the school day. And so, communication devices are, of course, cell phones. But, it’s also smartwatches. And any other device that connects to the Internet. That the district does not provide to a student," said Darlington County School District Superintendent Dr. Tim Newman.

  • Parenting requires new policies. Maybe then the way cellphones are used both out of the home and more importantly inside of the home would change. It’s sad how society uses the word “parent” toward a person who has given birth or fathered a child. Being a parent means a lot more and thats the bigger problem in the USA. Indulgence and paranoia aren’t parental skills that’s just pure lack of care.

    😢the parents are the stupid ones, 99.99% of the time they are just used for goofing off instead of learning in class
