    I remember in grade school, phones weren’t really allowed during class to begin with so is this legislation?

    There’s going to be a LOT of paradigm shifts without a clutch in September. My buddy’s daughter screams like you stabbed her if you take her phone away for more than a few minutes. The addiction is real.

    A lot of kids are going to be begging for smart watches for Christmas I’d wager. I bet we’ll see a surge of marketing for them. Probably emphasizing some sort of tracking/ safety feature to help kids convince their parents it’s a perfect gift.

    Parents might make them swear up and down not to use them in class, but it’s going to be tough.
