[quote=Anonymous]APS high school teacher here. We have had so many problems with kids and the cell phones in class. Also, the kids didn’t talk to each other between classes and they were always arriving late to class because they were on their phones. On the day after the pouches were implemented, the kids arrived early to every class except the first period of the day. They weren’t late, they talked to their classmates, they seemed engaged. Sure, did I see kids with phones who shouldn’t have had them? Of course. But it was SO MUCH LESS than pre pouch. Many kids know how to get around the pouches but even if they do break it open, the existence of the pouch makes it much harder to have them out in class. If you have never spent time inside a high school all day, you have no idea how important these measures are to improve student engagement. [/quote]
