[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am surprised that we had to pay money for a technology solution when parents could simply be asked to help enforce the no phone policy by using the downtime feature on applicable phones.

Outreach with parents would be a lot cheaper than this.

My kid isn’t getting in trouble for having his phone out because I lock it down during school hours.  An email from the principal suggesting this would probably be pretty effective.[/quote]

You assume that all parents are middle class and well educated and care about what happens during the school day. They are not and do not.[/quote]

You assume that I think all parents will help.  Only some will, and that is helpful enough.  No need NOT reach out and try to educate families.

Also, most parents care if they have to come to school to pick up the phone when a kid breaks the rules.  So, maybe those parents will be incentivized to learn how to use the features they paid for when they bought the device.[/quote]
