    1. You clearly don’t understand the topic then. This is a national problem with ubiquitous application for a resolution.

  1. I love the argument that parents can’t reach kids in case of an emergency. Seems kids survived for decades by parents just calling the office if there really was a true emergency. This law spares kids whining to their parents all day about every grievance.
