Pathetic: Gov. Kathy Hochul wants the state to spend $13.5 million to help schools implement a cellphone ban.
More pathetic: City schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos calls that help “inadequate” — even though about half Gotham’s public schools already have bans in place
Why does it have to cost a dime?
Tell the kids they have to keep the phones in their lockers, or turned off in their knapsacks or left at home; if (when) you catch a student breaking the rules, discipline accordingly.
You don’t need to buy fancy, pricey Yondr bags or establish a whole new bureaucracy in each school or whatever it is Aviles-Ramos imagines she needs a ton of money for.
