[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My HS Junior in APS is very happy with how it has been implemented even though she'd like her phone to listen to music when doing independent work. She said some kids have been caught cheating on tests with their phones, and it turns out they put a burner phone in the pockets at the front of class. Not sure the punishment, but she said all their teachers know who they are now.[/quote]

Sounds like it's working well.
My kid was/is opposed to the pouches; but haven't heard any complaints from them since week 1.
They acknowledged more students were participating in class discussions and are now talking instead of being on their phones during work time, which is annoying for my kid because she's trying to do her work. But again, she hasn't complained about it since early on. Believe me, she would complain vociferously if it were a problem.[/quote]

She's not complaining because no one is using them or enforcing it anymore. So there's nothing to complain about!

Exactly - that was my point for the anti-cell phone ban troll who has no clue about anything and just wants to bash the policy by illogically asserting it has worsened the problem.[/quote]

I think you read this wrong. The student isn't complaining anymore because no one is using the pouches and no one is enforcing the pouch rules anymore. Hence nothing to complain about. Schools just quietly are not enforcing.[/quote]

Do you have a student at a school using pouches? I do, and they are being used, and it’s going fine.

yes I have a student at a pouch school, and this isn't our experience. Most kids are not using them, and it's still going fine. Cell phones are not that big of a problem. [/quote]

Say what?

Lady, you need something else to spend time on.  THIS is your issue?!  Really??[/quote]

Actually I think you're talking about yourself. Cell phones are not that big of a problem yet you are OBSESSED with banning them for all kids. Why are you so triggered by other people's kids having cell phones? Just take your own kid's phone away and leave others to do what they will with their kids. [/quote]
