[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No issues at all after the first day when kids panicked. Once they realized they had plenty of time to unlock and still make their buses, it hasn't been an issue.  We have unlocking stations at 4 different building exits and multiple locations within the building.

If concerts of 10,000+ people can make it work, it was always going to be fine in schools of 1000.[/quote]

Yeah I wouldn’t go to a concert with 10k locking up phones. So only the people who want that attend. Unlike school where everyone has to go.

I kind of think with Covid going around again cluster all the kids at the unlock station is dumb and encouraging closer than normal contact but maybe it is fine.

I wish they would concentrate more on keeping guns out of schools than the effort to get phones silenced. [/quote]

Why not both? It's not an either or.[/quote]

They seem to be concentrating on the one. And spending lots of money on that.

I scoffed (internally) when the principal said that Law enforcement officers don’t want kids texting during emergency situations because they want to handle communications.  I guess it would make it easier for them to stand around and do nothing like they did in Uvlade. I personally would like to have contact with my kid in that situation.

I would prefer the pouches to be given as a punishment to kids who weren’t following away for the day policies rather than jumping to using them for everyone.  It might be enough of a scarlet letter for a kid to have carry a pouch around all day that it would be a deterrent to the away for a day rule breakers.[/quote]

Sounds like you don't understand either problem.  [/quote]

Funny, you can only come up with an insult rather than educating me.

Uvalde police DIDN”T GO IN THE SCHOOL WHERE THE SHOOTER WAS.  I had to call the police on my Dad because he was abusing me, they did nothing.  I don’t trust the police to always make the right choice.

I would like my kid to be able to contact me. I tell him to zig zag run if he thinks he can get out of the school safely. Hiding in a corner does nothing. As a teacher, I had a parent who was in the FBI and they were adamant that I tell the kids in my class to run because it is the best policy (of course I couldn’t/wouldn’t). She studied this for a living and told her kid to run.  I did too.

Police and authorities want control over the situation. I want my kid alive more.
