what do they do if there is like a school shooting?

[paulryanrogers]

That this question must be asked speaks to a different and more serious problem.

[makeitdouble]

To note, these different and more serious problems don't seem to be addressed, but a ban on mobile internet access is a no-brainer for most people apparently.

Until that different and more serious problem is solved what do they do if there is like a school shooting?

[paulryanrogers]

Teachers will still have phones, many buildings have a wired phone in each classroom, and guns are loud so someone near a phone will call for help. You know like how it always worked before every student had a constantly connected pocket distraction.

What do the phones add to a shooting?

[Atotalnoob]

Ability to call 911 or with e911 send texts, images, or videos

[SkyPuncher]

Every school I’ve been in has phones in every single classroom.

Even with the advent of cell phones, I doubt those are going away.

[Atotalnoob]

If there is an active shooter, you might be hiding

[Auracle]

Guns are loud. It’s not like only a few people will know.

[willcipriano]

The police are just going to stand around and play with their phones anyway.

[meowster]

The ability for a phone to give away a victim's location to the perpetrator as well as encourage parents to get in the way of first responders.

[bdcravens]

They are banning student phones, not teachers/staff phones.

Thats edge case
