[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The APEs still have little kids. Wait til their kids get older and get to high school and they realize what they don't know now. Kids in high school can't just whip out their ipad to do what phones can because oops they don't have one. And practice changed but coach can't get a message to them in high school and front office sure isn't going to deliver it.

And also wait til they see this policy won't do anything because all the things they complain about with phones are being done on APS ipads.

I look forward to their outrage, but they will just have themselves to blame. [/quote]

What are you even talking about? Yes iPads can do a lot of things iPhones can, but it’s way harder to sneak it in the back row of a classroom in your lap.

Most iPads will be school issued and limit social media; if they don’t that’s an IT problem not a policy problem.

Practice changed!  The horror!  They won’t find out till the end of the day,  when they actually need to know rather than in 2nd period algebra.  Your examples don’t even make sense.

My kids are in high school, and we have friends at privates where phones are banned all day. [/quote]

Wait til you have to drop off medication for your kid but they never are given the message. [/quote]

And your kid doesn't know they need medication, so they can't ask about it? Or, you can't wait for them to call your child to the office to ensure they're aware?[/quote]

Ask who? How? If they had their phone they could ask me if I dropped it off and where but how do you want this to happen now that ppl like you took this away.

And you think high schools call kids to the offuce? Hahaha you are clueless. Tell me how that works during lunch please - how do they know where my kid is? Who do they call?

This isn’t elementary school. Last time this happened the school told me to text my child!!![/quote]

I’m assuming the medication is not a 911 situation, so they would wait until after lunch, look up their schedule and call her next class to have her come to the office. This is a time tested solution.

Again, they could stop by the office every other period to see if you dropped it off if you doubt the school. The bother of having to do this will be a natural consequence to help them not forgot medicine in the future.

As for them telling you to text your child, okay? Sure there are lazy admins but once the policy is there are no phones, they won’t press the easy button that no longer exists.

except this is not what happens in busy school offices. You really think the office staff has time for this??? please. You clearly know zip about how schools actually work![/quote]
