[quote=Anonymous]Also if MCPS wanted to address this they could do a systemwide ban. For especially awkward or shy kids the phone is a crutch and a barrier to socialization and it’s sad. During the pandemic I pulled my kid out of MCPS and put her in a private school that has a complete ban on cell phones. It’s been like that the past four years and it means kids have to interact at lunch and middle school recess, they aren’t texting and causing drama during the day and people aren’t huddled up into tiny groups sharing dumb reels. Now is there drama sometimes after school or on the weekend when the kids have their phones? You bet - but I’ve found it dissipates quickly because they HAVE to interact with one another once they are back at school. I’ve also found that the parents at our school provide phones to kids later because it isn’t so central to socialization. Many did not get phones until 7th or 8th grade. [/quote]
