[quote=Anonymous]Report from the ground:

The Yondr pouch pilot at our school is going well. The kids have discovered the pouch can be opened with a strategic strike from a particular angle, and that no one checks on whether the right phone, a piece of cardboard, or air has been placed in the pouch. My phoneless 12-year-old left his pouch at home, having been placed on the honor system. Several of the pouches have already been broken.

While there have been some glitches, the students report they have abandoned social media because playing with the pouch is much more fun, student entrepreneurs are happier because the burner phone business is booming, the kids who normally spend their time answering for hallway infractions are happy because the administrators are too smugly thrilled with the success of the pouches to notice what students are doing, and student interaction is up because they are united around the common goal of understanding the physical properties of the pouches. Of course, this is the honeymoon period and there will probably be some return to the less exciting old days of “Away for the Day” but for now, the student population is grateful to the school system for having the foresight to choose to spend its money on a little personal escape room for each student. A less prescient system might have paid for an additional bus, or something silly like that.

In other news, all Yondr employees were just granted a new batch of stock options. With just a few more prescient school systems like ours buying into the Yondr pouch program, the options should reach a value sufficient to ensure that no Yondr employee child need attend a public school.
