[quote=Anonymous][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]

No...they could have used the phone in the front office. The teacher could have phoned you. They could have emailed you. There are dozens of ways to contact parents that don't include students with cellphones. It's been done for decades. You just want an excuse to have access to your kid 24/7. That's a you issue. Work on it. [/quote]
