[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]

Since teachers cannot issue consequences, you need to. My kid went to a private so the school took care of the consequences for phone use at school (usually detention). If a teacher messaged/called me that my kid was using his phone in class against the rules, he'd lose the phone for at least a week. [/quote]
