I know they are AT THE FUCKING SCHOOL, but I don’t know if they are alive and well and I don’t need to worry much, or they are hurt and need medical attention or worse. A simple fucking SMS will alleviate any worries INSTEAD OF LEAVING WORK AND TRAVELING FOR 1.5 FUCKING HOURS TO GET TO THE SCHOOL to see for myself.
Which one is simpler, pray tell, Mr. Smartpants? Do you even have any kids or what? Because you don’t really sound like a parent.
Sounds like you should rethink your place of residence lmao.
I appreciate the acknowledgement that I’m the only one thinking rationally here — but, pray tell, if you can’t call the school after a disaster, I’m fairly certain that the cell towers will be damaged and thus your lil’ ray of sunshine will also not be able to communicate with you… so what good does your kid having a non-functional phone do?
Furthermore, if they need medical attention, I’m sure the adults at the school will do their best to ensure that they receive it within a reasonable amount of time, or at least sooner than their parent who apparently works 1.5 hours away could.
And yes, Karen, I’ve got kids. But since I’m not some neurotic hoverparent with uncontrolled anxiety who would rather try to control and know everything all the time than just, y’know, go to therapy and clear up issues — I’m perfectly comfortable trusting the adults at the schools we looked into (a comfortable 10-15 minute drive away from home and 30 from work) to handle time-sensitive emergencies or otherwise contact me or my wife.
Besides, it says the phones are banned in the classrooms. Are you really so delusional that you think teachers won’t permit their child to access their phones in an emergency? Get a grip and take your Xanax already. Parents like you are a fuckin’ nightmare.
