[quote=Anonymous]These threads always deteriorate and I am not sure why I am bothering but starting in MS in MCPS, some teachers allow students to use their phones for research, and kids who do not have them either share or they can use school computers ipads. It is a modest solution to a funding issue. One of the distinctions is that MSs start at different grades in different places (and finish in different grades too) and DCPS has a cooky policy where MS starts in 5th grade. Students certainly don't need a smartphone to go to school but having one turns out to be useful in some circumstances, and the constant thread on this site of the anti-technology crowd is really tiresome. It might have been a useful debate 5 years ago, but that ship has sailed, if you don't want to get on, fine, but I don't think you should expect to pull the ship back.[/quote]
