[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The APEs still have little kids. Wait til their kids get older and get to high school and they realize what they don't know now. Kids in high school can't just whip out their ipad to do what phones can because oops they don't have one. And practice changed but coach can't get a message to them in high school and front office sure isn't going to deliver it.

And also wait til they see this policy won't do anything because all the things they complain about with phones are being done on APS ipads.

I look forward to their outrage, but they will just have themselves to blame. [/quote]

What are you even talking about? Yes iPads can do a lot of things iPhones can, but it’s way harder to sneak it in the back row of a classroom in your lap.

Most iPads will be school issued and limit social media; if they don’t that’s an IT problem not a policy problem.

Practice changed!  The horror!  They won’t find out till the end of the day,  when they actually need to know rather than in 2nd period algebra.  Your examples don’t even make sense.

My kids are in high school, and we have friends at privates where phones are banned all day. [/quote]

Wait til you have to drop off medication for your kid but they never are given the message. [/quote]

You keep making up problems just to justify your kid having electronic apron strings. [/quote]

you keep avoiding the question of why you didn't just put parental controls on your kid's phone if you're sooooo worried about the supposed evils of cell phones? some of us are not as irrationally anxious as you are about our kids using phones, and see the upsides to having them.[/quote]

DP. no, you're irrationally anxious about your kid NOT having their phone at the ready at all times.
You don't know that I haven't put parental controls on my kids' phone or if my kid even has a phone. My doing so does not prevent YOUR kid or the 2000 others in their school from using them during class.

People like you who are just so adamantly opposed to phones being banned at school simply refuse to see the real issue. It isn't about phones being bad. It's about eliminating their distractions and disruptions to the classroom because - whether it's your kid or not - there are phones causing problems in the classroom. Stop deflecting.[/quote]
