[quote=Anonymous]I like MCPS’s policy since it seems age appropriate to differentiate between MS and HS students. I do think the policy needs to address classroom standards for keeping kids off phones. But HS kids do have many valid reasons to be checking phones at lunch or even between classes. HS students have jobs that might be contacting them, they are caregivers for younger siblings and they manage their own medical appointments. Some HS kids are in dual enrollment and traveling between locations. I am sure there are more reasons as well. Plus, once they graduate these kids will have to be able to manage phone use at college or in the workplace so teaching them appropriate use for cell phones seems more helpful to setting them up for later success. But again, yes there needs to be a standard for ensuring phones are away during class time.[/quote]
