[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fully support a no phone policy and ask that schools enforce it.  Up to them how to do it but there is no place for them during the school day, at all.  I don’t want to hear the whining from admins.  If the pouch makes them stop whining, fine.[/quote]

Aren’t the admins now going to be tasked as the messengers going between kids and parents that can’t communicate directly? Strikes me as a lot more work for admins than before. [/quote]

It's not that much more work. There haven't been significantly more phone calls than prior. I think most of the prior communication could have waited until after school or wasn't that important. Students used to show me their texts to their parents during class, and they would be things like "you forgot to pack ___ in my lunch" or the parents would text them, "Did you remember to feed the dog?" These are not emergencies and anyone would be embarrassed to call the office to share that.

The number of critical communications ("I cannot pick you up, please ride the bus") are quickly communicated to the students as they always were pre-cell phones.
