[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just take them away for the entire day. The kids can still email home and each other on school issued computers so there is literally no need for a cell phone at school. [/quote]
Maybe there’s a checkpoint the the beginning of the day and all kids put phones in a box.[/quote]
Sounds like prison.[/quote]

DCPS teacher here..I frequent this forum because I'm contemplating a change for commuting purposes....anyway, MCPS parents like you....you're the problem. I don't want to switch because of parents like you. Our school has students drop off their phone every morning and pick-up in the afternoon. Phones are a non-issue for us. It doesn't even sort of resemble a prison but it does resemble an actual environment conducive for learning. Parents don't complain. Time for you to grow up. [/quote]

There are a lot of safety issues at MCPS.  There are also no pay phones so if there is a change of schedule, kids need to contact parents.  The other day my kid was asked to stay late by a teacher, which was fine but they needed to be picked up.  They needed a phone or a watch to contact us.  [/quote]
