  • You mean like the student who was required to leave their medication, insulin if I recall, at the office because of “needles” and then was denied access and called the fire department who broke down the door to get access so the student didn’t die?

    I don’t think that students leaving things “at the office” is ever a solution and I don’t think you have any idea what the logistics of 200 or 2,000 phones (that was the size of my primary school and high school respectively) at the office looks like.



  • Wait for it in … 3 … 2 … 1 … say it with me … “but who will think of the children” … when inevitably there’s yet another school shooting and they can’t call 911?

    It’s pretty fucked up that there’s a society on this Earth where school shootings are “expected” and that’s the reason why you cannot remove mobile phones from the student body.

    The question is, how many dead students is it going to take for this phone ban to be reversed?

    I really am grateful that I am not forced to make those choices living on the other side of the planet.















  • This is now what spammers are doing. I’ve got about 50 different “companies” offering their services complete with follow up, meeting bookings, reminders and encouragement to sign up now, then come the threats or request for acknowledgement, then they change their email address and start from the top.

    Come to think about it, it’s probably more like 100 different attempts, each with their own repeating thread.

    99% automatically land in my spam folder, but it’s just ludicrous. It also makes actual commerce via email pretty much impossible.

    I’ve had offers for lead generation, appointment setting, transcript services, SEO, website redesigns, app development, social media marketing and management, investment opportunities, offers for speaking engagements, conference sponsorships, purchasing and product offers, the list is endless.
