[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Yorktown they are allowed to use them in a quiet spot in the library.   DD tells me she doesn’t have time during the day to go to said spot. So if she needs to get us a message I guess she does it while going to the bathroom.

But schedule changes happen all the time in high school. Something was cancelled today so I didn’t have to pick her up from school. She rode the bus. Nice to get that message so I didn’t have to rush to leave the office at 4 to pick her up. [/quote]

this is what the parents of younger kids just do not get. There are a lot of schedule shifts with high school activities that just don't happen with littles. [/quote]

Dude.  Let go of the idea that the “only” people favoring the ban are parents with little kids.  I am in favor, and I have a HS student.

It’s like you all have no idea of how to do a cost benefit analysis and the “cost” to YOU of last minute scheduling changes completely outweighs the entire body of scientific evidence along with your children’s teachers of cell phones harm.  To keep harping on this issue of last minute schedule changes as if it’s the end of the universe for our over scheduled HS students is not convincing anyone.  We all think your child will probably benefit from having to figure out last minute schedules changes on their own and NO ONE CARES HOW HARD IT IS FOR YOU TOBE SOMEHWHAT INCONVENIENCED by not being tethered to your kid.
