[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my kid about the new rule for next year and he laughed and was like “how are they going to enforce that?”[/quote]

The thing the "we follow the rules!!!" crowd doesn't understand is that a stupid and unenforceable rule reduces the authority teachers have with kids. The kid here is laughing - the attitude is that the school is so clueless as to how things work they think they can do this. That attitude carries over to other things. It's not the teachers or even the schools probably - they understand perfectly well how to keep a grip on their position with students so they won't enforce it. The parents that think this is going to happen are the ones that look foolish. And then it convinces them they don't need to take other actions on phones. 
Like literally everything else it does, you can't count on FCPS, you have to do it yourself.[/quote]

What does that mean, you “have to do it yourself.”?
Even if I did not allow my kids to have phones, their education would be harmed by those around them using phones. [/quote]

your kids should stop look over other people's shoulders while they are on their phones [/quote]
