[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The official policy is that phones must be put away during class. But kids are allowed to use their phones between classes, during lunch, etc. And I’m sure some kids get them out in class, too. I wish they would have an “away for the day” policy. I don’t envy the teachers having to compete with the stupid phones. [/quote] +1 I believe the "phones away in class" is actually a new official APS-wide policy (wwaaaaayyyy too long coming!) This gives teachers previously lacking administrative support and back-up in enforcing their preferences and expectations that students keep their phones off and away in their class. I am hopeful(?) that it will become more widely followed and enforced over the next few years, now that it is official policy and teachers have that to back them up. Of course, this could be hampered if APS decides to use the Minga digital hall pass system on student phones rather than their laptops...[/quote]
