[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No phones during class makes sense. Take them away and have the parents pick them up. That will stop it. But why not between classes? My kid has an after school job. It's convenient for me to set up rides etc for work, sports, and appointments during the day. I'm not a fan of the new policy at all. (Although we get around it pretty well.) [/quote] Because they want kids to talk to each other and learn to interact without phones. Many of us managed communication with our parents long before email was a thing, you can do it today. You discuss the schedule for the next day the night before. If there is a sudden change, you can text your kid and they will get the text at the end of the day. Or your kid can text you at the end of the day. It isn't hard. It is convenient for society as a whole to have kids who can hold conversations and know how to interact with people while not using a screen. [/quote]
