[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shoe holder type holders don't work because kids steal phones out of them.

No phone for the weekend is a great way for your kid to learn to be more responsible.[/quote]

Not in HS.  The kids put their phones in the pouch at the beginning of the class and take it out when they leave.  Next class, repeat. It's simple and it works.[/quote]

No, it's bell to bell. [/quote]

Yep. What high school is PP referring to? None in APS. [/quote]

To clarify, the Yondr pouches will be bell to bell. [/quote]

what about kids who leave campus for lunch or to the career center? [/quote]

They unlock their phone on their way out of the building. They lock it up again upon their return.
Why is this so hard for so many people to understand? The phones are not locked up in a safe in the main office - they stay with the kids the entire time and are locked and unlocked upon entry and exit.[/quote]

Are you sure? Because the governor says bell to bell. [/quote]

The governor hasn't established a rule. Only state dept of education guidance. It is not legally binding. 
Dems in the state house are introducing legislation to make it so; but for now, bell-to-bell is not required.[/quote]

do you have a link to the proposed legislation? [/quote]
Not right off. If you're on AEM FB page, it was posted there. Also an article in the Post, I believe.[/quote]

but the legislature isn't even in session?![/quote]
