What was this about? Did someone video record teens having s3x or something?

| Sure seems that way. But don’t worry, Taylor’s program study will solve all of our problems! |

| Yep! |

| Unattended children with unattended use of cell phones. What could go wrong? |

Yes because the teens were thinking about this study when they made the video, brilliant |

Weird that's where your mind went |

“She told me to come, but I was already there.” Did you read the headline of the article? |

How else would you interpret "inappropriate intimate behavior ". |

Sounds like the cell phone ban is doing great. Such a joke this entire school system |

DP. I assume the intimate behavior is sexual in nature, but I guess it could be a striptease rather than a sex act. |

I have kids at two different high schools. At one school, they’re trying to find a workaround to allow the journalism class to continue posting teacher approved TikToks of their reporting because they’re taking the ban so seriously. At the other high school, my kid kept texting me during instructional time. I asked how they were able to do that and they said that in that class, they’re allowed to use their phones after they’ve completed their work. My kid could have been lying, but I was receiving an awful lot of texts, so it seems hard to believe my kid was able to do it surreptitiously. This kid isn’t slick like that. |

In HS, kids can keep phones before/after/lunch and in between classes. |

Again, the problems with cell phones in schools is not the policy. It's the enforcement. And so long as we leave it up to teachers to decide how and whether to enforce, you'll get scenarios like this where some teachers allow kids to use their phones "once they're done with their work." |

| Interesting that this is being treated as a one-off issue at Northwest and not a systemwide problem. Just the way that MCPS likes it. |

It’s the policy as well as enforcement, or at least the training on the policy. In the scenario I described above, one teacher believes the policy does not give teachers any discretion at all to allow the use of cell phones during class. The other teacher believes they have discretion. If it’s a countywide policy, why don’t they have the same understanding? |
