[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the time someone gets to the bathroom where the vape detector went off, the culprit will be long gone.  And there aren't enough staff to hang out at all bathrooms.

Blocking SM on the MCPS network only punishes those who don't have cellular data.  Am guessing but don't know, that is the poor kids?  Seems like not a great idea[/quote]

Brenda pointed out the glaring hole in relying on blocking social sites by Wi-Fi only. There wasn't a great response from Stephanie Sheron.[/quote]

No solution is full proof, but the point is to make progress in limiting distractions as well as the sharing of fights.  This paired with an Away All Day model that is enforced is a start in the right direction.[/quote]

I think we can all agree it is most important to keep the poors off social media.[/quote]

Some folks are always looking for an excuse to not implement solutions. Poor people also have cell plans, you all know that. This is not a ploy to only target poor children. It’s not a perfect strategy but it is a step in the right direction.[/quote]

As an MCPS poor, I fully support students having cell phones and mine will continue to have a cell phone.  Its a parenting choice, not a school or other parent choice.[/quote]

Your kid having a phone is a parenting choice. Your kids' ability to [b]use the phone while they are in school[/b] is not. If they don't comply, you should expect them to face consequences. The world doesn't revolve around what you think is right. And if you disagree with the school's policy, you can lobby it (although the evidence on favor of restricting phone use in school is working hard against you) or you can take your kid out of public school if using phones 24/7 is that important to you.

Then they can provide pay phones.  Given safety issues, changes in schedules, etc.  mine will always have a phone.   [/quote]

FAFO then.[/quote]
