[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The action doesn't require legislation, just a slightly motivated and competent principal. A number of schools already do this.[/quote]

I know, including all the middle schools. But high schools and elementary are not as consistent. I hate that upper elementary teachers are having to fend for themselves in many schools and make/enforce their own policies.

We all know how leadership and turnover impacts schools, I think getting rid of the distractions would help educational and social outcomes for all DC so I am a fan of the citywide rules, not just for certain schools. 
That way the city can be the 'bad guy' too so the principals don't have quite as many angry parents to deal with who don't support the ban.

Just so much research now on how detrimental it is...[/quote]

This is one area where I’d rather the principal can just say- it’s DC law.  It allows them to spend time making schools better places for teaching and learning and gives one less thing to respond to squeaky wheel parents about.[/quote]
