[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you suggest parents do? I am genuinely asking. I have a rising freshman. All communications from the school say that phones are to be put away during class, unless specifically required by a teacher. 
Our child has most notifications turned off and phone is always on silent. They’re generally a rule follower so I expect their phone will be out away during class. 
Is this not enough? If not, what can we do? I don’t think sending them to school sans phones is realistic at this point. 
FWIW, I teach early elementary so I have an appreciation for the realities of the classroom vs what a non-educator thinks is realistic. 
Most parents do sincerely want to help, so how can we do that?[/quote]

Why would having the phone away during class not be sufficient?[/quote]

That’s what I am asking. It seems like a reasonable and effective expectation. But I am asking op if there is something I’m not seeing. [/quote]

It’s theoretically reasonable, but not realistic because kids won’t put their phones away.[/quote]
