Why not just ban smartphones in school? There's ample research now that they're harmful to teen mental health

For anyone that doesn't know, Forgotten Weapons YouTube channel is one of the best channels relating to guns. But it's a historical, educational persepective on guns, mostly guns from WW1,WWII, and anything up until the 1980s, though he does deal with some rare and some modern guns from time to time. Overall it's a fantastic channel, the main guy Ian breaks down a guns history, mechanics, how it handled in production or war time, he really does his research, so it's not your typical "I like muh guns big and loud" type of channel, it's legit informative and educational, 100% check him out if you have the slightest interest in guns and gun history.

You don't. You die like everybody else, without saying goodbye.

They could just watch on the security cameras. I'm pretty sure they exist in every class and parents can access them at any time.

There aren’t security cameras in classrooms, at least in the schools I’ve worked. They are in the hallways though. I wasn’t allowed to record my class (despite that being good practice - watching yourself teach!)
