So much porn I have seen would benefit from this treatment. I mean top-hats and/or clown makeup, as its no longer a sex show so much as it is too much for most circus acts.

It's only slightly worse now. The problem has always been bad, it's just that a lot more people have had occassion to notice it now.

There's a tree gender plege? ... or can we make one?

Can I download the videos for the class I signed up for and actually watch them when I have no cell signal yet? No? Cool. Cool. Banning porn was important too I guess.

wtf

(no, I'm not asking to be able to export content. I'm talking about using their paperweight of an app)

"Consistently" ... show your homework. Everything I'm seeing shows the opposite.

Wait. Are there not also handicapped stalls in each the women's and men's bathrooms?

I see that configuration all the time here. Men's, Women's, each with handi-capped stalls, plus one or two Disabled/Family/Gender Neutral stand-alone restrooms.

Don't worry, its the same on Lemmy websites. A few months back, I wanted domain blocking just so I could block redgifs.

Un-schoolers already have better outcomes than public school kids. Leave them alone.

Un-schoolers typically have better outcomes than public-school kids, and you are confusing them for the products of religious schools. No one who thinks as you are inferring is going to give their kids any intellectual freedom.

I have three teenagers in Highschool in Indiana. Students in their classes might get their phones out when they are not supposed to, but they put them away when called on it and are sent to the office if they distract others. In our school district at least, teachers have plenty of means to discipline students, or at least remove distractions when they occur. Every highschool here has a Police Liason Officer, and refusing to follow teacher's orders(especially to leave the classroom) is treated as a crime or ... a "crowd management" issue.

As for cell phones specifically, shoe organizer on the back of the classroom door, or cubbies(cub-bee) in a locked cabinet, ringers off and stashed like so at the beginning of class, done. There's no shortage of (cheap)options available options for teachers nor of administrators willing to back teachers conventional(and long-established) plays on (somehow 🙄)high-profile issues.

Vendors? Look at private prisons and charter schools(both of which Democrats in office have been all-to-happy to facilitate, and Republicans love). Someone with a "solution", or just planning to have a solution greases some palms, and suddenly the state is buying "the solution" from "the lowest bidder", who just so happens to be the only bidder until their name is synonymous with "the solution" statewide, for decades.

If you were not aware, Indiana is a Republican state. Such things are very much out in the open here. Wouldn't surprise me if this law passed, and suddenly there's a re-branded Pyxis Medstation(a $32,000 machine) with Cubie(kew-bee) Drawers(an expensive add-on) in every classroom, with an expensive mainenance contract to boot.

Hyperbole, hopefully - that was the worst possibility I could come up with, but that product actually exists, and you get the idea. No way in hell the state is coming up with a better(or cheaper) solution than the teachers already use. That's like assuming California Governor Newsome's "bread exemption" to the $20hr Fast-Food Worker Minimum Wage serves a useful purpose besides doing a favor to the Owner of Panera, a close personal friend of his. Newsome is a Democrat, by the way.

That's my initial impression as well, but it also seems that they just don't care, and will refuse to until its made clear to them just what a bad look this is, and nothing short of an accusation of impropriety has done the trick yet.

I doubt english is their first language, but more importantly, it seems like there's a culture disconnect versus mainstream western pr bullshit ... which actually serves a useful purpose for once, in this instance.

The schools and teachers have dealt with this on their own. Its asinine because they figured this out decades ago, yet here come the congress-critters to tell them how to do it "better". Bet you $5 the final bill includes some mandate to use lock-boxes or "charging stations" from a specific vendor. 🤑

Its a "solution" looking to solve a problem long past, and probably just a trojan horse for some new graft and top-down meddling.

I mentioned the other stuff to highlight that this state knows how to be hands-off, until some new opportunity comes along to sabotage public schools and make working as a teacher in them even more insufferable.

I am not opposed to "un-schooling", but this state's implimentation is not so much acceptance of un-schooling as it is failing to enforce the standards it has laid out. The law on the matter is just vague enough for parents who can afford a lawyer to do whatever while still charging poor parents/students with truancy whenever some bureaucrat gets a wild hair up their ass.
