[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did thes go into effect today or is it next school year?  [/quote]

Next school year but they are basically the rules that people at the pilot school have worked with all year.  My kids are at WJ and I think it’s worked well.  I got one email early on from a teacher saying my kid had failed to put their phone in the box during class, we discueed, and it didn’t happen again.  My impression is that the teachers are happy with it and the kids feel it’s an acceptable compromise they can live with, as they can check their messages at lunch and use their phones to order lunch.  I think if the rule was bell to bell the HS kids would likely just ignore it.  But they seem like they can live with this.

Our Ms has a bell to bell policy and I think it’s ignored.  I don’t think they’ve gotten buy in from the kids.  I think MS is just difficult and I don’t have a real view on what is right for them.  I feel like the McPS new rile is right for ES and HS though.  [/quote]
