[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised more parents aren't concerned about the loss of instructional time due to the pouches. Do parents not know that the kids need to leave class early to go unlock the pouches? Do they not care? [/quote]

Are you kidding?  It’s way less lost instructional time than has been lost on policing phone use. And way less than EVERY period having the phone hanging bag rigmarole. [/quote]

So you're A-ok with a lost 5 minutes of class time every day? I'm not. Weren't you people the same people who were crowing about lost instructional time? So it's not ok and then it's fine? Make it make sense. [/quote]

I agree. Wakefield, per an email from the principal, is releasing kids in waves, some 10 minutes early. Says it's for "now" while "kids adjust" but then says releasing kids in waves for a school as large as WHS is not a bad idea.

MORE time lost is NOT OK. 
Kids have phones out, not all teachers are enforcing. Kids get phones at lunch & then don't lock them after lunch. It is a mess and a GROSS waste of time and money.

I'd like to sue the district for taking time out of the required instructional time.

Also: I have heard only kids with "real" medical concerns will get velcro pouches. Zero consideration by the school for other reasons.
