[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that bugs me is if YOU do not want YOUR kid to have a phone for some reason, then YOU don't give her/him one. Or track data usage during school to see if he/she is disobeying YOUR rules.

I do not know why people laud a policy that takes away other people's choices and autonomy. I, for one, prefer, my kid to have his phone[b] to text his friends or classmates about where to meet, or last minute questions on what needs to be brought to class.

He did that a lot last year. He is not into social media, and he is not allowed to use his phone during lunch per our rules. He wouldn't anyway because he is too social.

But if you are SOOOO worried about a phone being a crutch for YOUR kid, then don't let YOUR kid have one.

I am not happy with the change at Thoreau as there were very few problems anyway.

That doesn't sound like he needs it.  It sounds like it's more of a fun way to rely on others for info.

I don't think phones need to be used during school hours.  But, my kid has one.  I like the policy.  [/quote]
