Enough with the phone obsession. Monitor your own kid and stop telling other parents what to do. The chromebooks can do it all so banning phones is silly. Some teachers require them to

The phone obsession is great but how about the devices given by the school? My daughter routinely texts me from her school computer. My son tells me people play minecraft and watch anime porn on theirs.

It’s not the school’s fault if students abuse their devices. “You should have stopped me” is never a defense for wrongdoing.

Actually it is when teachers demand kids bring phones and record stuff, submit paper assignments via pictures on their phone, have the kids play educational "games" on them... I didn't let my kid bring their phone for a while and I had a teacher email me complaining. Parents need to manage devices and teachers tell the kids to put them away.

Kids are still using Chromebooks to play games, send messages to friends or families etc etc. and there's no more go guardian to monitor if that ever helped.

Right, so why is a survey being sent by mcps?

[Anonymous]

MCCPTA is pushing this. The person who did the gifted got no where with that so she moved on to address the phones.

What happened with gifted? Don't know.
Is it that there is none???!! Now THAT is something ALL parents should advocate for now!

[Anonymous]

Anyone with a link to the survey?

Are you saying schools should not have or enforce rules about how students use devices because it's not their fault if students abuse school devices?

We fit the survey. It appeared to be a specific link for us, not a general URL that anyone could take, IIRC. We are at an Away All Day pilot school, so that may be why we got it.

[Anonymous]

The survey explained in the text that it was sent to the families of students enrolled in the pilot Away All Day schools, so it was not universally shared.

It is part of the evaluation of the Away All Day strategies they tested at various schools.

The survey was terribly written, asked redundant questions, didn't provide contextual information, and I believe it will add little to no value to the conversation.

How about putting it on the parents who aren't restricting the phones or monitoring them.
