  • They can’t just contain “any bullcrap you want”.

    Contracts need to follow the set of rules in your country that dictate what can and can’t be enforced. It’s an entire branch of law.

    If you try and pull something like OP is suggesting, the worst case scenario is that it may render the contract an unlawful document and therefore void.

    I imagine in most places things like what OP is suggesting would get laughed out of court.

    You can have some fun though. I heard of one guy who, as a recruitment bonus, insisted that it be included in his contract that he receive an office desk made entirely of Lego.








  • The key thing is that teachers can ban phones in their individual classrooms if the school permits it.

    There are many schools in which the senior admin don’t institute phone bans (you’d be surprised how common this is).

    Legislating it helps maintain consistency and parity between schools nation wide, which is important as it’s a quality of education issue, so the policy should be consistent across all schools.

    I’m not from North America, but the situation is similar across most western democracies.
