[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno. I pretty much hate Miranda/APE, but I've grown to hate Cristina and David more. Their showing at the last SB meeting was childish and petty. [/quote] They’ve been disappointing for sure but are still lightyears better than APE/MT. [/quote] Looks like they are getting the away for the day policy they won’t shut up about. [/quote] It's going to be a terrible, ineffectual policy because there will be no thought or deliberation put into it. Just something that needs to be done because the State said so.[/quote] Exactly. APE is always worried about their own kids first. No thought about kids who need to have a phone. If APEs don't want their kids to have a phone, don't give it to them. [/quote] So the policy is bad because it won’t have enough exceptions, but also because it won’t be enforced strictly? Away for the day isn’t some fringe hobbyhorse. It’s literally the policy of the whole of England, and Australia is working on one too. [/quote] Smartphones have been around since the late 2000s with little to no issues. Why is it a problem NOW? It's because your special snowflake needs to carry one at all times. You raised an entitled kid. Now it's their teacher's problem. You can be a A+ parent and make them keep these gadgets at home instead of making school systems establish policies that YOU caused. And I'm fine with SPED and medically fragile kids getting accommodations to keep their phones in class as long as it is used as intended by their plans because I'm a good person like that. [/quote] I’m the poster you’re responding to. My kid has no smartphone. I want this policy because the evidence seems persuasive. My kid isn’t entitled. When you attack people like this it makes whatever point you’re trying to make incomprehensible. It’s not even clear if you support or oppose it. [/quote] Belive it or not, I was responding to the royal you rather than you personally. Because I have no idea who you are. Or care.[/quote]
