[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll buy my kid a $10 dummy phone to put in the pouch. [/quote]

OK, that’s your decision. But don’t come on here later on and say that the process doesn’t work.[/quote]

phones in school aren't something I care about. I care about constant fights, kids ditching and hanging out in hallways, loudly disruptive kids in class. If the schools cared about those issues, then I might care when my kid is quietly on a phone [/quote]

You know what causes half those issues? Phones. They text eachother when to meet up in the hall to fight, when to meet up in the bathroom to do drugs. They use their phones to record people and bully them. [/quote]

That’s actually funny that you think phones are the cause of this.  I went to HS before cell phones existed.  There were drugs and fights.  It was a different type of school than my kids attend but the fights were frequent and violent.  Kids were suspended or expelled. There was also detention.  You knew there would be consequences if you did xyz and got caught. [/quote]

And now they can’t get detention but [b]they can record a student with disabilities in the bathroom and post it to social medi[/b]a. They can record each other in class doing presentations and post it; they can and do record themselves trying to goad teachers into flipping out on camera so they can post it. None of your comment negates the reality phones make all behavior issues in school worse and much more complicated and hard to address than when YOU were in high school. [/quote]

This happened a few years ago at an FCPS HS and the student killed himself. I was shocked cell phones weren't required to be put away all day at this school once that happened. [/quote]
