[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]

What apps do you use to brick their phone? 
[/quote]
Three ways.

Built in screentime limits, especially they unable to install or delete apps, and specific sites blocked at phone level.  Apps have strict time limits and they are unable to change their pin, Apple account settings, or the [b]phone time[/b].

For additional security I overlay an MDM profile with more rules using Apple Configurator. https://support.apple.com/apple-configurator

Finally, I have logged into my laptop with their iCloud account (separate logins). So I can login to their account at anytime from my MacBook and review their recent photo stream, browser history ([b]private mode disabled[/b]), and iPhone messages.  They don’t have social media apps installed; they are allowed to login into sites like instagram voa safari, but during school hours the browser is disabled, and all they can do is message a subset of contacts and use the phone, calculator, calendar, and maps. [/quote]

How do you disable those? [/quote]
