| I heard that GDS has banned phones for the high school starting in the fall. Do you think other privates will follow suit? I imagine this is a popular move among parents, and unpopular among the students. Is GDS receiving any push back? |

| GDS followed suit. So many schools have already done this. |

Banned them how?
Like before when there supposed to be in bags or lockers and everyone races over to them between classes and all of lunch or keeps sneaking them out? Or like locked up or not in the building from first period through last period? What about open lunch? |

| I like Shaw’s Atlantic piece. It would be hard to think of a reason not to try this. |

| Our school already does. GDS is following. |

Prior to this, there wasn't even a pretense of a requirement to keep them in their bags. I don't think anyone knows how it will be enforced, but it's an improvement over no policy. |

How is anything enforced at GDS? |
