[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's interesting the middle schools will now NOT have them.

I have a kid in high school and the teachers do not enforce the cell phone away policy at all.  My guess is this age group is more brazen about blowing off the rules so they are going to give them the pouches and don't want to buy more for middle school kids.  But I think middle school kids have the least impulse control when it comes to phones.[/quote]

MS rules are they have to be in your locker. According to my MS’ers they don’t see hardly any kids hiding them in class. [/quote]

Keep writing your SB and the principal. The phone-free policy is mandated by VA DOE now, and every email is subject to FOIA and has to be retained. If enough emails accrue to demonstrate that the policy isn't being enforced, it creates a record of evidence that DOE can use. APS knows this, so if the pressure keeps up, they'll have to act, likely by expanding the pouches to MS as well. [/quote]

You misread. Kids are keeping them in their lockers and not sneaking them into classes. It works fine in MS. No pouch needed. And in high school kids who really want to use them will use them. [/quote]

The MAGA crowd isn't concerned with the truth - just looking for a gotcha. [/quote]

Yeah that hotbed of MAGA, UNESCO.
