[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped teaching when children became distracted with phones. Parents don’t want to have them left at home, admin don’t want to enforce no phone policies, so what is the point of my even trying to compete with that? [/quote]

*admin doesn’t[/quote]

Everyone says parents don’t want that but has APS done an actual survey? APE has an informal survey about whether “away for the day” should be the policy and it’s an overwhelming yes. Granted small sample size. I haven’t met anyone in real life who doesn’t support no cell phones in class. [/quote]

Then why don’t parents simply say “no phones at school” and have it stay home?  Or get software to limit function at school. For instance our cell provider allows me to turn off data on my kids phone at any time remotely (but it still can call if needed).

If I had any inkling my kids were using phone in class,  they would get a flip phone. [/quote]

Once your kid has been in a lock down, you will understand why parents want the phones on the kids.[/quote]

Do APS schools have lockdowns that often? All a phone will do is likely give away their location by ringing. [/quote]
