[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kilmer sent an email saying they are NOT part of group piloting program but still expect kids to follow the rule of no cell phones in class. Also asked parents to emphasize at home.  My kid says most kids in her classes adhere to it.  [/quote]

I have an extremely rule follower kid, or so I thought. She frequently talks about off and away and is the type who stresses over asking to use the bathroom too many times or at an inappropriate time during instruction.  She told me she’s glad Kilmer isn’t doing this because she’d bring a fake phone to hand over and would never lock her real one up in a pouch. It would stay off and away like it always has.  I asked where she would get one and she said it’s easy to give an old phone but no way would she ever had over hers.  I was shocked.  [/quote]

I'm sorry that screens have made your DD crazy.

It may be time for parents to reconsider phones altogether.  I know we are rethinking them for our older and younger DC.[/quote]

I think her DD will not be alone and what a lot will do. There will also be a lot of Amazon orders for the fishing magnets so kids can open on own.[/quote]

If the pilot is unsuccessful, then we can all learn from it and do something else.

If lots of students actually do that.[/quote]
