[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now high school kids can’t even use their phone at lunch. Are you kidding me?? How ridiculous.[/quote]

Did an insecure parent or phone dependent-student start this gripe thread? Hard to know the difference really.  [/quote]

No, a parent with common sense. Kids sometimes need to text their parents and vice versa for whatever reason. It’s not a crime.[/quote]

Somehow in the way back times, people survived high school without the ability to text parents and vice versa. How ever did we all survive????

The world wasn’t digitized then. We have evolved. Sometimes we need to send a quick text about after school plans to our child and it’s super easy and convenient and you know they will get the message. When my child was in middle school I was constantly emailing his last period teacher about changes in dismissal plans and it was nerve wracking not knowing if she would check the message or remember to give it. Now that we have texting we should be able to use it to communicate with our kids. Lunch is the perfect time for them to read it. I really donut see the need to take them away at lunch. The cafeteria is probably quieter too. [/quote]

That last period teacher probably hated you if you were constantly emailing her about changes in dismissal plans. Are you that disorganized that dismissal plans changed often enough to need to constantly email a teacher about them?

Thank God most parents have much better executive function; can you imagine if that poor teacher had to communicate dismissal plans to 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 kids in her class? [/quote]

My child had a private lesson after school that sometimes got cancelled last minute from the instructor. It required a change from kiss n ride to the bus then. It has nothing to do with my executive function you disgusting POS.[/quote]
Wow, get help. [/quote]

Get help for what? Someone literally insulted my executive functioning for something beyond my control and for what the school told me to do? Explain how you would have handled it.[/quote]

DP. Get help for calling people POS and telling them to eff off because they suggest other possible solutions. 
Also, your kid can check their phone when they are dismissed at the end of the school day before going to kiss n ride or the bus. Seriously you are freaking out about nothing. [/quote]
