other than landlines I guess?

You mean that thing I specifically mentioned? Yes, I realize that. Would it be inconvenient? Yes, it absolutely would. Would it suck to work in that environment? Again, yes it would. If I'm just thinking about safety, I'm not sure it's that much more unsafe.

It’s incredibly unsafe when you live in a society built around smartphones/tablets for health and safety tools to remove said smartphones.

But is it? Landlines can make the same emergency calls. A Faraday cage also doesn't mean you can't have an internal wifi that reaches outside that the staff can connect to, or even the students can connect through with a proxy controlling their connection.

I agree it's impractical. But it doesn't mean laptops and phones suddenly don't work. They can still work within the cage and you can poke holes through it with a landline and a proxy to control traffic in and out.

Ultimately, it's definitely not worth the engineering and the effort. I just don't think that safety is the reason it is impractical.
