[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent of a T1 diabetic who uses her smart phone to monitor glucose, and she has it in her 504 plan that she can have her phone on her. It's important. BUT the diabetes rate in the juvenile population is like 0.002% - not even an average of 1 kid per MCPS high school. So, the BuT tHe KiDs wItH DiSaBiLitiEs!!! argument for why phones need to be allowed doesn't hold a ton of water. [/quote] There are far more disabilities and health issues and diabetics. If you are saying your kid should get one and only kids with diabetes, that is pretty disengenuous. There are many reasons why kids need to contact their parents. Parents need to try to manage these phones but MCPS needs to stop giving access to the wifi to kids outside devices as if you have them blocked on cellular, they just do it through the wifi.[/quote]
