I don’t think they are saying earbuds aren’t allowed on the bus. I think they are saying the earbuds were noticed by a teacher, triggering suspicion the student lied about not bringing a phone.

Banning phones in the classroom isn’t an issue though. I think there’s reasonable levels to it, like you shouldn’t hold a high schoolers phone overnight imo. But if they require you to put your phone in a cubby and you sign a waiver saying you don’t have one, then bringing one visibly on the bus is just stupid.

The fact this is even a thing is crazy. I went to school and if someone had there phone out they got written up. 3 write ups you in trouble. So people just didn't go on their phone. I graduated 2018
