[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should be interesting now that phone use is being restricted in the N Arlington high schools, too (& not just at Wakefield). I imagine those parents will have something to say.

And next year, will all schools use the yondr pouches? Or none?[/quote]

Why?  All the N Arlington parents I know support the ban. [/quote]

Yorktown parent here - none of my friends support the ban
[/quote]

WL parent in N Arlington here and I don’t support the ban and neither do many of the parents I know. [/quote]

Another N Arl parent. I think they should be able to use it between classes and at lunch. [/quote]

Why is between classes so important?[/quote]

This is so typical, you HAD to push for a ban without even understanding how students use them [/quote]

So instead of answering the question, you take on a personal attack?[/quote]

It was stating the obvious. This person wants a ban when they don't know how students use their phones. Typical, unfortunately, of a certain loud parents advocacy group in APS, pushing for something they don't understand. Are you the same parent who wants pencil and paper instead of laptops in high school too? [/quote]

Not the previous poster. I'm the poster asking why it's so critical for students to access their phones for 5 minutes every 90 minutes as they exchange classes. The fact that you have repeatedly refused to provide a reason and just continue to insult me indicates there is no critical reason that students must have access for their phones in the hallways walking to their next class or while they wait for class to begin.

It would have been so much simpler if you had just answered the question.[/quote]

and your response tells me that you don't have a kid in high school, or else they would fill you in[/quote]

According to my high schoolers, there is no critical need to access their phone during class exchange. Do they like the ban? They're fine with the ban. Do they like the pouches? Absolutely not. Is that because they can't access their phone during class exchanges? Nope. It's because they don't like being treated like elementary school kids. [/quote]
