[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they going to miss the freedom they have now?
They can wake up minutes before class start, they can use the bathroom with out permission, they don’t have to hide their phones or they talk to their fiends withtout getting in trouble ... feel free to add to the list [/quote]

Kids need structure. Remote learning combined with most parents who are working, maintaining a level of structure has been a disaster. They shouldn't have phones during class time. Nonstop eating will be an adjustment. [/quote]

Then I hope you will tell them to leave their phones at home. I agree this is a huge issue in person school. Yet parents let them bring them every day and we can’t take them. [/quote]

The principal can make a rule. Ours did. [/quote]

And some don’t. Even when they do the rules aren’t enforceable because we cannot take their property. So if parents think phones are an issue (at home and at school) they’re the owner of the property and hold the solution. [/quote]

Parents can limit the times their kids can use their phones. Block the phones from being used during the school day. You don't have to worry about if the phone is left in the locker or not. You can even set it up so that kids can contact certain numbers set by their parents so that kids can call or text Mom and Dad or emergency adult. I have friends who do this. Their only complaint is that there are times that the Teachers ask the kids to use their phones for a class project because the school WiFi can't handle the demand and the kids phones can use the cell signal to do the work. Their kids text them asking for their parents to relax the rule.[/quote]
