[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with phones being out of the classroom. I also agree that the stupid pouches are a waste of money. You can put that phone in a locker or backpack and have real consequences for taking it out.

My kids don’t even have a phone. That’s an option too, parents.[/quote]

MY kids phone hasn’t been the problem, it’s the OTHER kids who are playing phone videos which trigger movement at the corner of their eye, or requires teacher to interrupt class

My kids phone is a brick during the day. [/quote]

lol. You suddenly care about these “other kids”? I almost guarantee you YOUR kids are the problem. All of them already know how to circumvent safeguards. If you cared so much about cellphones during school time, your kids would be leaving them at home.

They get their entitlement from their parents I see.[/quote]

I don’t care your kids, that’s fair. I just don’t want them making the learning environment difficult for my kids.

My kids often leave their phones in the car, I can see that in Find My.

I’m in tech; trust me they aren’t getting around the safeguards I have in place. The bigger issue is they can still pass notes in class via the laptops, even with messaging disabled (which is hit or miss), they often create shared documents and chat in real time edits. [/quote]

Wow you don't sound like a micromanaging parent. I see now why you want to micromanage everyone's else's kid and their teacher.

[/quote]

I only micromanage tech. Are you referring to the findmy? You are just old, everyone has everyone else sharing location — the companies are already, so why not people I care about?  I notice where my kids are when I’m tracking a lost phone or when my spouse will be arriving home from travel.

I’ll happily set your kids screentime too, since you clearly don’t understand how [/quote]

I solved APS’ problem by not giving my children phones that I don’t have to micromanage because I’m “old”. When they do, they can just leave them at home because seriously, why give your kids an $800+ device to take to school?!

You’re welcome.[/quote]

When they are not at school, a phone is very useful if curated. The problem isn’t the phone, it’s the apps. [/quote]

Lol. Trying to have it both ways. A phone is useful if "curated" but yet, not useful at school so much that we have to ban them bell to bell? In fact, get rid of those damn iPads and laptops too?

Which one is it techbro?

[/quote]

Again my kids phone is set to minimize distractions and addiction.

It’s your kids phone which is the problem at schools. If you were considerate we might make progress.  [/quote]

I'm the OP. Again, my kids don't have phones.

Also, I treat people with the consideration that they reflect towards me, and you've been nothing but condescending and holier than thou. Even calling me "old" at one point. I laughed because you're so pathetic in your comebacks.

If my comment gave you a mirror, I feel like I've accomplished something today.

You're welcome.[/quote]
