What do we think? It sounds like a pain in the ass to me! For everyone involved. If I had a MS student at those schools I might be telling him to leave his phone at home. Which is probably for the best anyway.

This is the part that gets me. You put the phone in the special pouch and it locks, and then the student puts the phone in pouch into their backpack for storage. To unlock the pouch at the end of the school day, they need to use a “Yondr Base.” If you forget to unlock your pouch before you leave school, tough titty until the next school day.

Also: “ Yondr staff will assist with determining the most appropriate number of unlocking station locations in each school based on the number of students, in order to maintain a safe and timely dismissal process at each school. They will provide training for the unlocking stations. ” This seems like a huge undertaking to me. Probably going to cause a ton of delays and drama.

Any teachers or parents at these schools know anything else about this?[/quote]
