[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look forward to asking the front office staff to go find my child the next time I have to pick her up early for a doctor's appointment, since I can't just send her a text that I'm here. I'm sure they'll love having to go find her.

My kids are in an APS middle school and even last year I went to the front desk to have them call my kids out of class. It works just fine and would never occur to me to do otherwise. [b]Are other kids just getting texts from their parents and walking out of class[/b]? [/quote]

Seriously! If this is happening, what a nightmare for teachers! A kid just waves his phone and claims his mom texted and he has to go? Yet another reason to ban phone usage. [/quote]

Absolutely. Discipline is not backed by admin or parents; parents get irate if they have to wait, so teachers don’t even bat an eye when kids leave. There is no upside to trying to discipline minor infractions like this versus desk throwing etc. [/quote]
