[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need dedicated phone lockers. Away all day. If a phone is seen in school more than once by a student, confiscated and parents can pick it up on the following Monday morning, which means at least one weekend without a phone. [/quote]

Or you can just keep the phone home and stop putting this all on the school to enforce.  Be a parent.  Set your own controls.  [/quote]

Exactly. Get back to me when your kid drives to school and an after school job, and it would be a huge safety issue not to have a phone. [/quote]

I know the world has changed, but somehow 25 years ago we were able to drive to school and then work with no phone and it was totally fine.[/quote]

Soooo tired of this line. Expectations were different then, too. My HS kid literally finds out his work schedule via his boss texting him. Sometimes there’s a schedule change to his sports or band that’s communicated after the school day starts, and I need to tell him to take the bus home after all, or whatever.

I’m not suggesting he should have a phone out in class, but yes “the world has changed.” There are good reasons for a HS kid to have a with them phone before/after school, and for emergencies. I am a proponent of away during class, but I think the pouches are a stupid waste of money. And yes, my kid is finishing up a school year of having the pouch, so my opinion is based on actual experience. [/quote]
