Parents are regularly getting notified about school shootings several minutes before the police. I absolutely do not want a school taking my kid's phone in this increasingly common case.
- ilikecakeandpie 3y agoI get that, and maybe I'm being incredibly naive, but can't the schools utilize existing pipelines to inform the parents immediately? When we had a snow day, they'd call with an automated message and let us all know. Isn't there something in place to do the same for emergency situations? If not, wouldn't that be something relatively simple to build?
