[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am OP, I am screen addicted and know this and it’s not good.

I also want to be in touch with my kids if I need to and the phones are for their safety, which is why they have phones. I have told them, drilled into them and shared my expectations that they are not to use their phones during class time. They can during the transition periods, lunch, before, and after school, etc. So if a teacher catches them with their phones. I would be OK with the phones been confiscated. Or even limiting cell phone used to before or after school or lunch.

I am pro consequences when kids break rules and classroom expectations. And if the school band phones, then I can get on board. My question really does stem from the contributing factor that phones are playing in drugs, fights, and bullying at school.

I have two kids in HS. A lot of teachers don't care if the kids use the phones. So, if you are relying on your kid's honor system to not use their phone during class, well... I got a bridge to sell you.[/quote]

THIS.  This is an enormous problem.  It has absolutely shocked me and one of the top reasons I would not recommend MCPS high schools.  Kids are constantly on phones during class.  Constantly.  My high schooler has one teacher only who does not allow phone use.  It is rampant otherwise.[/quote]
