[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has also banned cell phones in HS and I have heard behavior issues are lessened (no hard data on this, just word on the street from middle and high school teachers I know) [/quote]

Cell phones have not been banned. There are a handful of middle and high schools engaged in an “Away All Day” pilot, but any parent, teacher or student can tell you that that the pilots are a joke. The enforcement of the pilots are inconsistent and subjective and there aren’t mechanisms for tracking the efficacy of these pilots either.[/quote]

I thought those pilots are just at middle schools. Are high schools doing it too?

And it’s not a joke at our middle school. After some kids had phones confiscated at the start of the year and had to have their parents pick it up, compliance has been much better. [/quote]

Any MS or HS could participate in the pilot or you know just enforce appropriate rules that already have a policy.  It’s requires Leadership and enforcement.[/quote]

Did any high schools join the pilot? [/quote]
