[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ES principal refuses to enforce this and leaves it up to teachers who struggle to enforce it. I would LOVE for the law to change.[/quote]

Wait, [i]elementary[/i] school kids are pulling their phones out in class (why do ES kids even have phones?) and the teachers say nothing.  That's insane.[/quote]

Our daughter's fifth grade teachers has shared the struggle with us - both with phones, and kids who have watches that have games/buttons/etc. Just tons of distractions that make instruction impossible.

But often the teachers are on their own to make rules/enforce, adding on to the million other things they have to do. And opening them up to calls/complaints from parents who feel like they need to be able to text/communicate with their kid at all times. It is easier to have a policy as the 'bad guy' and let the teachers do their jobs (and let the kids learn and interact socially uninterrupted!)

Make it a law and take it out of the schools’ hands.  You wouldn’t believe the number of parents who claim they must be able to contact their kid at all times.  Or who call during class time.  Or who claim a school can’t lay hands on their kid’s property.  It’s exhausting.[/quote]
