[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know how the HS version of this with “storage units located in the classroom” is supposed to work. So kids are wasting time at the beginning and end of class to deal with the phones?  Who stops a kid from taking someone else’s phone either by mistake or on purpose?  A kid who has to be dismissed early for any reason needs to potentially disrupt the entire class to retrieve their phone?

Maybe it’s a great program. But typical of FCPS it’s being implemented in a way that leaves more questions than answers. [/quote]

A. We already lose TONS of time to them being on their phones. 1-2 minutes at the beginning and end of class to lock and unlock the pouches is nothing compared to what we lose right now.

B. You can’t take someone’s phone because it’s locked. Also kids do not want each other’s phones. They all HAVE an iPhone, they do not have desire to take your kid’s phone. But regardless, the pouches are locked.

C. If a kid needs early dismissal, the office calls us to send them to the office. They get their things and unlock their pouch and get their phone on the way out.  Again, CONSTANT PHONE USE is already way more disruptive than this.

Some of you are way over complicating this and I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally obtuse because you are that desperate to not have your kids be off their phones or if you really lack logical thinking skills. [/quote]

They don’t all have phones and yes there is theft now and will be theft[/quote]

Oh well then leave them at home, problem solved . [/quote]
