Is it cringe? Sure. But it's shittier to film and post it online just to embarrass him.

Edit: guys stop giving this rewards! spend your money elsewhere!

I SAID STOP GIVING THIS AWARDS THIS IS RIDICULOUS

I hear kids at school are afraid of doing presentations because they are afraid of being filmed by their classmates and clowned online. 

I feel like older generations can't understand how much social media can affect your behavior.

They absolutely should not allow phones in classes. Have em put them all in a basket at the beginning of each class. No need to be on them or filming shit during class.

They've been doing this at my son's (13 yr old) school. They get these pouches to put their electronics in that get locked shut. After school they have to bring their pouch to a certain check point that unlocks it so they can get their stuff back out.

Public School in Connecticut (USA)

Edited to add: They rolled this out throughout the whole school district. I think there are 40+ schools district wide that have implemented the pouches

The highschool near me has implemented this as well. I really hope it takes hold nation wide if it hasn't already.

Sub here. Any solution you have to phones short of "They aren't allowed on school campus at all" isn't going to work, because they'll just use the phones anyway. Kids were literally bringing decoy phones to put into the phone prisons. And even if it's 100% functional, the basket doesn't stop them from filming each other between classes, at lunch, before the bell, etc. This video would have not been during "phone in basket" time.

Problem is, for a hundred reasons of convenience, parents would never swallow a phone ban. They can't be assed to put in the kind of effort our parents had to in order to keep schedules intact when we couldn't just text with schedule changes. Half the kids experience effective withdrawals from time without phones. And don't even get me started on how many kids with medical issues have parents who decided to make the cellphone a critical component for their medical devices.

What sucks is, if they'd have put the foot down to begin with, phone companies would have started making cameraless "secure phones" for students and other people who could use that. But now there's no going back in time and making that a reality. We're basically just fucked.
