Why? All the N Arlington parents I know support the ban.

Yorktown parent here - none of my friends support the ban

WL parent in N Arlington here and I don’t support the ban and neither do many of the parents I know.

Another N Arl parent. I think they should be able to use it between classes and at lunch.

Why is between classes so important?

This is so typical, you HAD to push for a ban without even understanding how students use them

So instead of answering the question, you take on a personal attack?

It was stating the obvious. This person wants a ban when they don't know how students use their phones. Typical, unfortunately, of a certain loud parents advocacy group in APS, pushing for something they don't understand. Are you the same parent who wants pencil and paper instead of laptops in high school too?

Not the previous poster. I'm the poster asking why it's so critical for students to access their phones for 5 minutes every 90 minutes as they exchange classes. The fact that you have repeatedly refused to provide a reason and just continue to insult me indicates there is no critical reason that students must have access for their phones in the hallways walking to their next class or while they wait for class to begin.

It would have been so much simpler if you had just answered the question.

this has been put out there about a zillion times in threads on here, i don't have time to summarize it all for you. go back and look for yourself if you're so curious.

Yeah, and noone answered it then, either.
Obviously, there is no reason if even you can't provide one.
You only want to rouse people on here. If you had any interest in a real conversation, let alone a desire to persuade people to your way of thinking, you'd answer the damn question.
Thank you for helping make the case to support the ban.

Haha, so you really don't have an answer.

Or you realize "arranging carpool", "checking team practice schedule", or whatever nonsense may have been mentioned on this thread can all easily wait till the end of the day.

I mean, you literally could list ONE legitimate reason.

+1
They could...if there were one.

Not the PP but this isn’t the gotcha that you think it is. There is an entire thread discussing the topic. Filled with a bunch of ES parents who are clueless, insufferable twats.

If you can't answer the question yourself, at least provide a link to the thread.

and your response tells me that you don't have a kid in high school, or else they would fill you in

According to my high schoolers, there is no critical need to access their phone during class exchange. Do they like the ban? They're fine with the ban. Do they like the pouches? Absolutely not. Is that because they can't access their phone during class exchanges? Nope. It's because they don't like being treated like elementary school kids.

I didn’t make the claim about phone access between classes and I’m not your link btch. Find it yourself.

None of this means he’s paying more attention - he’s on his laptop listening to Spotify and watching YouTube.

So you’ve failed as a parent and you’re announcing it? What an odd choice.

What exactly am I supposed to do about it when he’s at school? I have told the teachers they can remove his computer or give him demerits or whatever, but they don’t. It’s their classroom.

I would tell them he needs to do his homework on paper and not have a school provided laptop. I would make him change the password and only I would have it, so he can’t use it at school and only can use electronics under my supervision.

Good luck with that.

I’m in tech and these are very easy controls to implement. What would I need good luck on?

Tell me you haven’t been in a school without telling me you haven’t been in a school. Have you looked at APS laptops? They’re all locked and configured at the school level and parents can’t change them. In middle school they blocked many sites but they don’t seem to be doing it in high school. Also, they don’t use textbooks and half the time they don’t give the kids paper copies of books to read. It’s all “online”.

A parent can change the password. Step one.

If your kid doesn't have a laptop, you don't need to change the password. So, Step one: parent buys all the online textbooks and coordinates with every single teacher to get hard copies of every reading excerpt and any tidbit of whatever each teacher is using to fill out their curriculum. Good luck with doing that and doing it in a timely manner. Not everything is set in stone on day one. Teachers modify their lessons and plans as they go along throughout the year. Don't know what you're going to do re assignments on apps.

Obv I said change password. So when they get home I can unlock for them to access school work.

What do they need laptop for during class?

Classwork. It's not all lecture.

Classwork should be on paper, are they really doing this much time on screens, no wonder our test scores were dropping

I wish! I’m a teacher but with attendance rates I have to post everything online. It is much simpler to have them do online work because I’m required to make it available for them to submit when they’re not in my room. There’s no way I could do remediation for all the skippers and make parents happy about their grades

That is an interesting wrinkle, I had not considered that attendance and the increased absenteeism would’ve driven us to be more online, but that does simplify it a great deal for the teachers, my mom was a teacher, so I understand the whole problem of making up work for people to who were out

I am a teaches as well but all my assignments are done on paper (because in addition to the phones needing to be up and away they also need to be off their computers as well) and I refuse to make assignments digital for truants. If you miss a day or two which is normal, you can make it up when you’re back. If you’re thinking you now get to do “online school” from your house with me having no idea who did that work, where you got the instruction for it you didn’t get from me, and receiving class credit while also tanking our accreditation data with your attendance issue- wrong. Call homebound if you need to receive home based instruction - otherwise, get to school. I am not doing in person and virtual learning for truancy.

Completely disagree. "the other poster" isn't the one making the claim. The one making the claim is the one responsible for providing the evidence.

Or you realize "arranging carpool", "checking team practice schedule", or whatever nonsense may have been mentioned on this thread can all easily wait till the end of the day.

I mean, you literally could list ONE legitimate reason.

Not the PP but this isn’t the gotcha that you think it is. There is an entire thread discussing the topic. Filled with a bunch of ES parents who are clueless, insufferable twats.

+1. If the other poster can't find it, then they need to work on their tech skills.

Completely disagree. "the other poster" isn't the one making the claim. The one making the claim is the one responsible for providing the evidence.

responsible? listen to yourself. no one is responsible for answering your question that's already been answered just because you're too lazy to go find it

Why? All the N Arlington parents I know support the ban.

Yorktown parent here - none of my friends support the ban

WL parent in N Arlington here and I don’t support the ban and neither do many of the parents I know.

Another N Arl parent. I think they should be able to use it between classes and at lunch.

Why is between classes so important?

This is so typical, you HAD to push for a ban without even understanding how students use them

So instead of answering the question, you take on a personal attack?

It was stating the obvious. This person wants a ban when they don't know how students use their phones. Typical, unfortunately, of a certain loud parents advocacy group in APS, pushing for something they don't understand. Are you the same parent who wants pencil and paper instead of laptops in high school too?

Not the previous poster. I'm the poster asking why it's so critical for students to access their phones for 5 minutes every 90 minutes as they exchange classes. The fact that you have repeatedly refused to provide a reason and just continue to insult me indicates there is no critical reason that students must have access for their phones in the hallways walking to their next class or while they wait for class to begin.

It would have been so much simpler if you had just answered the question.

If you can't answer the question yourself, at least provide a link to the thread.

No one is required to answer sht stirring, off-topic questions.

I didn’t make the claim about phone access between classes and I’m not your link btch. Find it yourself.

Perhaps not; but you are a b---.
Goodbye.

aah so you go right to an insult. classic. feel better?

you are lying. i've followed this entire thread. there have been no reasonable answer to that question -- it's all about arranging carpools and soccer practice.
