[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I took the liberty of ordering a bunch of magnets to open this &$@! Pouch. Here is what works:

MEUOADA Rare Earth Magnet,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6RBXT71?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Put pouch on magnet
Tap the button vigorously
It opens

We went through a few that didn’t work.

Good luck - my kid is one who would have to make a choice between missing a bus and unlocking the pouch and freak out. This pouch was an unnecessary source of anxiety and I feel happy to have defeated it. [/quote]

Ask to appoint a teacher to make sure students like yours are reminded to do this. Otherwise, leave that sh!t at home then and unlock it yourself. You have no business as a parent to teach your kid to do something that is egregiously against the rules. [/quote]

You know nothing. My kid is one who leaves the phone turned off all school day. It only comes on to coordinate after school activities. I can’t coordinate after school activities without this damn device being actually on the kid. Unlocked.if you have the luxury of never leaving Arlington or always being home ready to chauffeur larla, you probably have no effing idea what you’re talking about. [/quote]

If they can't coordinate afterschool activities on their own, maybe you shouldn't be sending them off on their own. What if their phone gets lost, broken, or stolen? How are they getting around if they need their phone so much and no one is driving them around or meeting them wherever they're going? Buses and trains run regularly so it's not likely to miss one. Aren't there responsible adults that can help whenever your little one has to travel outside the 21 square miles? My kids never forget their passports so don't have trouble at the Alexandria and Falls Church border crossings. Those NIMBY Mclean border guards, though!!![/quote]
