Curious, how does your school solve this with students' phones? Have y'all considered requiring mandatory monitoring apps? Or cell phone data jammers and requiring them use y'all's wifi and require a CA cert install?


Reading these comments I'm more and more disgusted really, how is it okay (to even suggest) that personal devices of kids are so invasively monitored?

They deserve their internet privacy just as much as grown ups do even more so actually given their higher trust in others, if schools are scared of internet's dangers then schools should educate, not wrap kids into digital bubble wrap that will disappear when they leave school leaving them tech-illiterate and vulnerable.

It isn't. Sorry my sarcasm didn't come through clear enough, but what you're saying and disagreeing with is my point.


If it becomes a problem, they'll just ban them again. Students got by just fine twenty years ago, when phones were confiscated on sight.
