[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently attended a field trip for my child in third at an ACPS school. Despite the chaperones being told not to use our phones, a huge groups of girls and boys had cell phones. Smart phones. I have already talked to the teachers about it and the principal issued a no cell phone policy. Yet yesterday on the field trip, the three teachers on my bus said NOTHING to these girls (mainly) who were playing loud games and songs and recording videos to post on TikTock. The same teachers had no problem correcting the other students in my group and the other chaperone's group. My DC thinks that there are two sets of rules that exist. I'm beginning to think that our diverse school is a myth and that my DC is learning negative economic segregation. The kids with the phones tend to be low income. I get giving your kid a Gizmo or burner phone because they might be a latch key kid, but we also have onsite after care that is free. We are talking phones nicer than adults.

I am worried about the videos from a safety and security perspective. [/quote]

3rd grade, wow.   Fwiw, at our school not a single kid in 3rd has their own cell phone.  Some 5th graders have Apple/Smart Watches.

The teachers at your school seem to be losers, correcting one set of students, but not the others.

How to bring it up?  Perhaps best in person, with the principal.[/quote]
