[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another reason phones should never be allowed in classrooms. Should have phones allowed only with special permission by admin at parent request and they needed to be dropped off in the office daily. Suspension for kids that don’t listen.[/quote]

My kid's private school has weeklong detention for students who have their phone out during school hrs. That would never fly at my public school. Students just wouldn't show up to detention.[/quote]

You realize this is for mcps and there is a private school forum for you.  [/quote]

Yes I do. I also have experience in public school since I work in one.[b] The only ways to change behavior are to offer incentives for desired behaviors and/or negative consequences for undesired behaviors. If students voluntarily keep their phones away during school, they should be offered rewards. If they don't, consequences need to occur. [/b]Public school systems seem to shy away from rule enforcement so that's why the behaviors continue. [/quote]

+1 million to all of this!

This has been an issue in MCPS since my kids were in ES.  It is a problem and needs to be addressed.  [/quote]

I don't want my child rewarded for good behavior as they need to behave in school or there are consequences at home.  Phones should be put away at school but mine has them for emergencies and to coordinate pick up.  It will not be used as a reward either.[/quote]
Current research suggests positive reinforcement works better than negative.

But you do you.[/quote]

Personal experience shows that restorative justice is a joke and MCPS needs some balance with actual disciplinary measures to balance it out.  [/quote]

Yes but peer reviewed studies show it's the most effective means available to keep order and discipline so your personal experience is meaningless.[/quote]
