I imagine those parents will have something to say.

And next year, will all schools use the yondr pouches? Or none?[/quote]

Why?  All the N Arlington parents I know support the ban. [/quote]

Yorktown parent here - none of my friends support the ban
[/quote]

WL parent in N Arlington here and I don’t support the ban and neither do many of the parents I know. [/quote]

Another N Arl parent. I think they should be able to use it between classes and at lunch. [/quote]

Why is between classes so important?[/quote]

This is so typical, you HAD to push for a ban without even understanding how students use them [/quote]

So instead of answering the question, you take on a personal attack?[/quote]

It was stating the obvious. This person wants a ban when they don't know how students use their phones. Typical, unfortunately, of a certain loud parents advocacy group in APS, pushing for something they don't understand. Are you the same parent who wants pencil and paper instead of laptops in high school too? [/quote]

Not the previous poster. I'm the poster asking why it's so critical for students to access their phones for 5 minutes every 90 minutes as they exchange classes. The fact that you have repeatedly refused to provide a reason and just continue to insult me indicates there is no critical reason that students must have access for their phones in the hallways walking to their next class or while they wait for class to begin.

It would have been so much simpler if you had just answered the question.[/quote]

this has been put out there about a zillion times in threads on here, i don't have time to summarize it all for you. go back and look for yourself if you're so curious. [/quote]

Haha, so you really don't have an answer.

Or you realize "arranging carpool", "checking team practice schedule", or whatever nonsense may have been mentioned on this thread can all easily wait till the end of the day.

I mean, you literally could list ONE legitimate reason.[/quote]

Not the PP but this isn’t the gotcha that you think it is. There is an entire thread discussing the topic. Filled with a bunch of ES parents who are clueless, insufferable twats. 
[/quote]

+1. If the other poster can't find it, then they need to work on their tech skills.[/quote]

Completely disagree. "the other poster" isn't the one making the claim. The one making the claim is the one responsible for providing the evidence.[/quote]

responsible? listen to yourself. no one is responsible for answering your question that's already been answered just because you're too lazy to go find it[/quote]

you are lying.  i've followed this entire thread.  there have been no reasonable answer to that question -- it's all about arranging carpools and soccer practice.[/quote]

this hasn't been the only thread on this issue. also you're not going to think any use is reasonable because cell phones are just too triggering to you.[/quote]

Okay? DCUM search is terrible, and somehow it’s easier to argue with me about how “easy” it is to find rather than list a reason?

I mean what a gotcha you would have on me, to put out that zinger that has been discussed at length, and I would have egg on my face because it such a crucial element of high school education… yet still you just say “uh, someone else listed good reasons somewhere” instead. [/quote]
