Never forget that a school board member walked past a middle school classroom learning about Japanese internment, saw a bunch of students watching the World Cup on their iPads, and said "this is just how learning and working happens now." They see everything you're complaining about as a good thing. |
Have them bring a book to read when they finish their work. They can enjoy what they are reading and not be distracting others looking at a phone. I am not sure why this is hard. |
They do read a lot. There is just that much extra time. |
Their report cards and AP scores disagree. Stay mad. |
Oh look! A “teacher” showed up at an opportune time spouting RW talking points. Sure,Jan. |
You seem to be the one that’s always mad at the schoool system. I’m laughing at you, not with you. It’s too easy to get people riled up in here on the most inconsequential shit. |
I'm not the one aruging to ban phones. You are. They system works fine for my kids despite the fact that school is not challenging to them at all. |
In the two years that my son has had an iPhone, he hasn't yet found a way around it. I use the Apple Screentime feature that is built in to every single iPhone. I set the hours that the phone doesn't work and which apps shut down when, how many hours allowed on specific apps, and contact that are always allowed (me and his dad and his grandparents). It's really not hard and as long as they can't guess the passcode, seems to work. |
I don’t know what you are talking about or why teacher is in quotes. I’m very much a HS teacher and you can ask Jeff to verify that. |
Cool. Jeff, where are you? Or better, post under your real name. |
You must be talking to someone else because I never said to ban phones. I just told you to leave the phones at home. Personal devices don't belong at school because looks around You don't need to helicopter around your kids when they are at school. |
Can anyone tell me whether there are any settings that I can set up to stop my kid accessing YouTube on his IPhone 6? I don’t want to restrict only smut on youtube. I want to restrict full Youtube. |
The Language on the policy now states that the phone or other electronic device must not be on their person aka inside backpack in front of the room.
it’s happening. And we can’t wait to see the tears from irrational and paranoid parents. Psychologists and counselors please start getting those invoices ready for the mentally weak and addicted teenagers. |
You're posting the same thing on different threads. Maybe you should get off social media yourself if you're so concerned about the kids. |
You can easily block the YouTube app. The issue is that he can access it from a web browser too (like chrome or safari) so you’d have to block those too. Maybe someone else knows a better way. |
