[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have straight A’s in hard classes. I don’t mind if they have their phone as long as they follow staff instructions for it, which they do. [/quote]

+1 my kid has straight As in all classes. We don’t care. They don’t use it during class.[/quote]

And it comes in handy for communicating scheduling changes for sports or other after school plans. The sports teams and other extracurricular activities (band etc) communicate with the students through apps.

IMHO kids who are going to be a problem, will be a problem regardless of what the school policy is. [/quote]

This is why “away for the day” is a perfectly reasonable compromise. When kids can’t check their phones from bell to bell, teachers report that all students are more engaged in class. Kids actually talk to each other and socialize face to face rather than isolate themselves on their phones. The entire environment of the school changes, for the better.

Then, at the end of the school day, students can take out their phones and check all the sports/extracurricular apps they want for afterschool scheduling updates.

Win win.[/quote]
