[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child’s high school has a “away for the day” policy. This means my kid has access to her phone all day at school, she texts me multiple times a day. They are all allowed to use them during lunch.
I looked up executive order 33 on VDOE and the description of the executive order does not match what our high school is doing.
Is everyone else finding this to be true in their high schools? If so, what do we do about it? How do we make them enforce the actual executive order?[/quote]

Just an FYI, you can use your parent controls to cut off cell phone usage, including internet usage, for set hours during the school day on specific days of the week.

We used this feature liberally for our one kid who had difficulty staying off the phone during the school day, from middle school through sophomore year when maturity kicked in.

We only allowed contact with emergency numbers, parents and siblings.

Your ratio is 2 adults per 1 teenager.

The teachers' ratio is 1 teacher per 150 students.

The principal ratio is roughly 1 principal per 500 students.

Just as a numbers game, it is clear that the parents need to take accountability and set up some limits on the teenagers phone to help the teachers and principals enforce state law.[/quote]
