[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, yet here you are on your phone and social media.  As a parent, monitor the screen time.[/quote]

At home I do. I can't monitor screen time at school. The only influence parents have over screen time at school is to lobby their elected officials like this.[/quote]

You can limit your child's phone and other things.  It is a bit silly to complain about what others do when you are doing the same thing.  I want my children ot have phones on them.  I put restrictions on them.  MCPS needs to block the wifi to MCPS computers only and that would help.[/quote]

My kids don't have phones. I have a phone, but I'm an adult. I also drive a car and have the occasional beer, but I'm not giving either to my middle schooler.  [/quote]

You need to set an example.  If you have one and are on it, and your kids don't, what kind of message do you think it sends them?  Wait till high school.  It's easy to say no phones in MS, but HS is different.  Do they have iPads, tablets or their own chromebooks?  Its no different.[/quote]

They don't have any of those things. There's a family desktop for schoolwork and a TV.

But I still can't control what they do at school.[/quote]

A tv is the same thing.  Same with a computer.  It makes no sense to me you wanting to dictate how others behave when you are on your electronics constantly.[/quote]
