so you smoke...in the middle of the road, what up?
And get run over? I'm OK with that.so you smoke...in the middle of the road, what up?
OK so here is another example of similar BS. My son's school, effective from next semester, has banned pupils from using phones as well as tablets and portable music players of any description at any point during the normal school day anywhere on the school premises. Their reasoning is "so that students actually interact with each other during their free time and don't disrupt lessons."
Real bullshit reason hidden in the smaller print lower down? If kids can't use their devices during school hours then any abuse or bullying they receive from fellow pupils is only happening outside of school hours and the school can wash their hands of any responsibility for that behaviour. As parents we have now been advised to report any instances of that behaviour to the Police.
Since you want to take it political....
You should know that CA is now a de facto one-party government state (only Democrats in statewide office, only a few token Republicans in state legislature and there aren't enough of them to do anything ), and I don't recall the current Sacramento City or County government being significantly different than this.
At the state level in CA there is essentially ONLY the Left. Same thing at the city and county level in most major cities and counties in CA.
So, please explain how it's not the Left responsible for this when the government is de facto by the Left?
Edit: In fact, let's go through the list of elected officials responsible for this travesty.

So, yup, Democrat and Left.
The Democrats and therefore the Left has control over Sacramento County, 3-2,. And there's no tactics like filibustering or requiring supermajorities that the Republicans can use to stop anything at that level. So, if the Left is not responsible for this ordinance (which was not adopted by voter referendum), who is? This guy?
So your son's school wants their pupils to be technology-disadvantaged and force them to use ancient printed materials that cost you lots of money and are easily lost?
Sounds like a very regressive school that is harmful to kids.
So are republicans that don't want you to get abortions and claim that you egg and semen cocktail belongs to them also communist?
Nope, but the headteacher is a Draconian fuckwit pen pusher whose official communications include frequent abuses of the reflexive pronouns.
Commies were very pro abortionSo are republicans that don't want you to get abortions and claim that your egg and semen cocktail belongs to them also communist?
So in other words, yes, it is.
The standard of the actual teaching is very good for a UK state school
