This.

We are in a non-DMV division with weapons detectors at all levels (ES, MS, HS) and with a new(er) no-cell policy (different policy and consequences ES vs MS/HS). Most HS classrooms have phone cubbies or boxes. Some teachers just have phones laid out on an empty desk at the front of the room or in the "marker" tray of their whiteboard. Our division opted against pouches and will try what they are doing now first.

Next up for us are ID badges, to be worn on lanyards around the neck, all day, all circumstances (incl recess, PE, and sports)...but they might walk some of that back.

The phone experiment is going OK, with many students and teachers liking it. But almost all hate the current detectors and prospect of ID badges. They feel like walking through TSA every day and just being a QR Code "number" (on their badges).

I'm glad we only have two years left. [b][i]The End[/i][/b] can't come soon enough.[/quote]
