Dude has plenty of complaints but it takes a cell phone video for him to get fired

Classrooms are better without Cell Phones. WIth them, kids are distracted, disrespectful, and are missing content. I wish there were mandates against them.
Just place cameras in the classroom to make sure people are safe.

Bro...I am in NO WAY arguing that Fields' use of force was necessary. So, don't twist what I'm saying.
If there is a rule in the school prohibiting phones from being out, I don't see why there is so much debate about the measures taken by the teacher and administrators. Rules (in schools) are not there to be broken.
You don't have an optimal learning environment if you have a student in the class being ALLOWED to break rules. It's not fair to the other kids who are trying to learn.
How is a child on their phone distracting my son though? My son is looking at the damn board. Calling three administrators to deal with that child is a disruption to my sons education.I am
I send my son to school to learn, nothing more nothing less.@ teachers needing 'authority' to do their job
And if you catch wind of a student causing a problem being LEFT in the class, don't you think that your child's education is being compromised...especially if they're being a distraction?
You want to do what's right by your child.
Um...if the teacher ask the student, who AGAIN, is breaking the rules, to put away their phone and they don't comply, that's an immediate challenge to the authority of the adult. Leaving that student to their own vices is problematic in the grand scheme of things...especially if there are rules in place that prohibit the use of phones in class. The distraction to your child's education started the minute that girl decided to ignore the requests of the adults to either put the phone away or give it up. I'm sure she would have gotten it back at the end of the day, or it would have been turned over to her legal guardian.
DC IS a teacher. I think he knows what makes for a good learning environment for his students.

Let me just make this clear.
It is totally possible for us to believe the student was out of pocket WITHOUT indirectly saying the officer should have used force.
I think some of you are trying so hard to force us into saying that when NOT ONE SINGLE SOUL has said that in this thread

So currently schools allow kids to use phones in classrooms?

Schools "allow" students to "have" their phones in school.
My school doesn't. Students (Middle School) have to check their phones IN at 8:45 at the front desk. They get a card with a #. The phones are stored in a room and put in cubby holes with numbers (the student gets a card with the #). They line up and get the phones back at the end of the day.
I couldn't IMAGINE having to deal with this cell phone problem.
Like I said before, if a parent needs their child, they know the school's number. So the whole, "If something happens I need to call my child," response in opposition to me saying phones have no place in the school is nonsense

That's dope that ppl sending money to that girl
Nice that it's someone who needs it and deserves it instead of racist murderers
Yea that's true. But where's the girl's injuries? It says "As a result, she suffers injuries to her ribs, back, neck, shoulder; a broken arm, and abrasions to her face."

Hey, if you had a daughter, and she was in high school, would you tell her to obey teachers and the principal and the law enforcement there? Or would you tell her to disobey? Serious question. I'm not justifying the cops actions, but would you think this would have been prevented if she did was she was told in school where the education if free?

So far DC has
negated every alternative we've given instead of tossing a child
says what cop did was wrong
hasn't provided a solution he would think works
what are you arguing?

Better to contact your child directly. What if the school cannot locate them in time. Every second counts in emergency situations. Let cell phones be available.

according to DC that barely happens in schools so it's unnecessary to prep for because in a emergency situation the front desk will be answering your calls

See, I have a problem w/ the word "obey" bro, I think the better term should be to respect the teachers and principals.
I personally teach my daughter to respect others and expect them to respect her. I also teach her that regardless of age, if someone disrespects her, then she is no longer obligated to respect them and that I'll deal w/ the adults accordingly.

Bring in a social worker to calm her down, but that is if the student and the social worker are cool. I already said dozens of times it is a tough situation, but I know from experience keeping her there isn't the best option. Especially if she is STILL disrespecting the rules.

the teachers or police did nothing to disrespect her until she decided to disrespect the rules of the school and authority figures.

Again, that is a rare situation. Your child will be IN class EVERYDAY with cell phones distracting them. I am not allowing students to keep phones "just in case of an emergency." When emergencies are once in a blue moon.
That would be like changing Hack-A-Shack rules for the WHOLE league because of DWight and DeAndre.

that's a much better term.
IDK, what kind of emergency situation would they actually need the kid for in general? If any emergency happens, the child would be one of the last people told the news. It's not like they'll need the child to do some CPR or something.

Sometimes a "once in a blue moon" emergency situation is all it takes to change a child's life forever. Can't believe you compared that nonsense to a child in an emergency situation.

Calm her down, remove her from the room, relocate her to the back of the room. Essentially the social worker would serve as an adult the student can trust or "run to" when she isn't seeing eye to eye with the teacher.
Essentially someone that WOULD be able to remove her from the room without force.
But that is the ideal situation

Emergencies do happen, there was time when there was some sort of gas leak at my daughter's school and all the parents were calling into the school but nobody was answering. They moved the children to another school but we didn't know which one until 5min before the kids arrived when we got an automated call.
Point is, things do happen, when I was in school on 9/11 and reports were going on saying a plan was flying in the direction toward 3 mile island, phone lines were tied up, mom tried calling the school and couldn't get through, that's when she called my cellphone.
M mr highness all good bro, I think in discussions like this, we have to carefully articulate ourselves so that are message isn't misconstrued.

And having cell phones in a classroom and not learning because of it can change a child's life forever.
The analogy makes PERFECT sense.
Changing a rule because of inprobable conditions. Look at the premise and not the names mentioned.
