[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My hope is that schools that do NOT have pouches actually implement and actually do consequences for phone use- that is what have not seen yet in schools so now with governor directive to fall back on, hopefully schools will give consequences and can see whether or not need pouches. I feel the pouches were a fix that someone threw out and it was jumped on before any actual attempt to say no with consequences happened. [/quote]

I don't think the pouches are necessarily the best idea but they solve the problem of banning phones from first bell to last bell, unlike the hanging-door-shoe-racks which our high school is doing now.  That allows (by design) phones during passing periods and lunch.

Fwiw, a better idea I've heard is that, for those high schools with metal detectors, putting cell phone lockers immediately inside the building before the metal detectors.  The students enter the building, lock up their phone for the day, go through the metal detectors, and go to class.  For those high schools in Fairfax without metal detectors, installing cell phone lockers inside the front door would be feasible but will require actual (slight) changes to the building.[/quote]
