[quote=Anonymous]One thing to note is that O’Connell has a no-phone policy in school for the entire school day, including lunch and Knight Time. Of course there are students who find work around, like using laptops to text, but my kids have said it’s great to actually have conversations in classes, not having everyone staring at phones during lunches or between classes, and people actually engaging with one another. Someone said it feels like what area public high schools were like in the 80s/90s, and I would have to agree. Though many assignments are done digitally/ submitted through Canvas, my kids (I have had 4 go through DJO) all always had assignments that were also completed by hand, too. On a side note, we had friends whose son transferred from a highly ranked FCPS private and they mentioned he felt like he could actually learn at O’Connell because the overall environment was less distracting.[/quote]
