[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a parent need to text a kid everyday?   What cants wait until the bell?  Come on

that's not what this is about.

why can't a parent who doesn't want their kid to have a cell phone just take away their OWN kid's phone? [/quote]

I'm so sick of this argument?!
Other kids' cell phones are ALSO the problem! It's not just MY kid or just any one other kid. PHONES period. I don't give a crap whether they belong to my kid or yours. NEITHER should be used in the classroom. And of course, I know YOUR kid never does and isn't the problem. So if your kid doesn't use their phone during school and isn't the problem, the policy shouldn't be a problem for you.[/quote]

Worry about your OWN kid why don't you? [/quote]
This is a moronic approach when it comes to SCHOOL. Schools are communities. The actions of some kids impact others. We make choices for the good of the whole community of students. This idea that all of us only have to and should care about ourselves is isolating your kids and depriving them of empathy and concern for the world in which they live. [/quote]
+1 personally my main concern over cellphone use in schools is student privacy/malicious use. I think middle schoolers especially shouldn’t have to worry about being filmed eating/in the bathroom/getting beat up. (FWIW I have a current middle schooler and work in an elementary school where Apple Watches are more of an issue than phones. )[/quote]

It's a big problem. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/technology/school-fight-videos-student-phones.html?searchResultPosition=3[/quote]
