[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update: We spoke to the school again and only because we had requested educational testing back in Dec did the teachers uncover that the phone was an issue across classes. They're still fighting us on testing btw.

[b]We also found out that the teachers encourage phone use at the end of class or during down time and refer to it as "open phone time".

We had no idea the culture was so permissive! How is our student supposed to have boundaries with technology when they encourage it?[/b]

Needless to say, we've put the hammer down and contacted a dr for a neuropsych to evaluate for adhd among other things.

Oh f this s. You need to parent your child. No teacher is "encouraging" it. I'm a teacher. 30 years ago, if the lesson didn't run the whole period, the last 10 minutes were a loud, party time where kids would talk and interact. Today, if the lesson doesn't run the whole period, the last 10 minutes are silent where all the kids are on their phones and not interacting with each other. THAT is what "open phone time" means. Get your evaluations but step up as a parent. [/quote]
