[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For sure yes to this for middle schoolers. Esp 6th and 7th when they shouldn’t even really have these stupid things. Not in high school.

And for the parent who’d be offended by this? That’s crazy! Wouldn’t you be happy a parent is a trying to encourage face to face socializing? Getting kids off the phones? I know I would like that parent MORE and be more inclined to send my kid to their house if they did this! [/quote]

No. I would be mad you took my kid’s only means of contact with me away from them without my permission.  [b]And that you treated my mature, adolescent kid like someone you can control rather than a guest in your house. [/b][/quote]

Yes, this is the aspect that irks me. It feels very controlling to me. [b]We carry our phones everywhere and use them for all sorts of things. [/b]I know I wouldn’t want someone to take mine away. If kids are in elementary school, fine. But I wouldn’t do it to a middle schooler and certainly not high schoolers.

Although…the poor mom who had her house filmed and put on tik tok. Geez… now THAT is the only convincing reason to take their phones away! What a little jerk. [/quote]

This. People need to move past the l obsession with the idea that everyone is "staring" at their phones. It leads to silliness like this.[/quote]
