[quote=Anonymous]Have any of the private HS implemented this policy?

VaDept of Education advocates for this and some local publics have implemented it this school year.  Our HS has had a rule that no phones can be out in any academic building, you will get detention if you are seen on it even in the hallway.

HOWEVER, lunch and study periods the phones are all being used.  We noticed a sheer decline in the number of kids conversing, going to the field to throw around a ball, etc.  This generation they are playing video games or on social media during this time. We strictly monitor our HS jr but it's an uphill battle when every other kid is on them during this time.

We are going to raise this with our HS and see what can be done.  I realize kids travel from all over to get to our HS and nobody is saying not to bring them to school---just that they be stored and off completely for the school day.

The studies are loud that phones are a detriment to kids and in school particularly.
