[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a private MS but going to public for HS. Cell phone use is strictly prohibited during the school day right now. 
Her friends in mcps have their phone with them all day long. There are videos being taken and shared in hallways and classroom. At lunch they’re staring at their phones. So even though I can Police my own kid, her experience at school will still be surrounded by cell phone useage. 
It needs to be banned completely. They stay in backpacks. If you’re caught with it out it’s confiscated and taken to office where parent has to pick it up. [/quote]

Same - my kid is in private and if you are caught using your cell phone, you are suspended. The private high school my DD is attending next year has a similar airtight policy. What I don’t understand is why are some public school parents opposed to this?  Do you really want your kids staring at their cell phones all day? Do you really want your kid’s ability to socialize limited because kids are too busy watching and sharing stupid reels? You really have to put your foot down at some point. [/quote]

We are talking MCPS, not your private.  Go back to the private school board.  The kids are socializing and meeting up at lunch via social media.  Its not like they eat in the cafeteria.[/quote]
