[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No phones during class makes sense. Take them away and have the parents pick them up. That will stop it. But why not between classes? My kid has an after school job. It's convenient for me to set up rides etc for work, sports, and appointments during the day. I'm not a fan of the new policy at all. (Although we get around it pretty well.) [/quote] My kid is a little bit younger, so maybe I'll agree with you when she's old enough to work. But I think you're missing about half the point of phone free. Half is indeed the academics. But the other half is the social and mental health aspects. Phones away means kids are more likely to interact and talk face to face. How many times have we heard that teens desperately need that?[/quote]
