[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the phones are given to children by parents to be used in emergencies (e.g. when students have to remain inside a classroom or must evacuate the classroom), the issue with phones being stored away in a locker which are in the hallways is students do not have time to go to their lockers to get their phones. So now folks are suggesting those pouches but:
-kids cut the pouches
-kids put a decoy phone in the pouch while keeping their real phone on them
-some students already have a pencil pouch in their zippered binders or a bag/pouch of some sort, so why another "pouch"?

some students use their phone/device for health reason. those families will argue their kid needs the phone on them at all times[/quote]
No system is perfect.  That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. It's like saying we shouldn't  try for stricter gun laws because criminals still have guns and will find ways to get guns.

Plenty of schools use yondr pouches with pretty good results.  Google it.[/quote]
