[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason he can’t go to the front office and call you or have his teacher reach out as they did prior to cell phones?[/quote]

That’s a complete waste of time and resources. So you expect him to miss class to go to the front office to use the phone? My kid doesn’t want the whole office knowing his business so doesn’t want to talk on the phone in front of anyone.

Expecting the teacher to reach out? Wtf? No, the kid can simply send a text during lunch. Looks like we will also have to get this added to our existing 504. Sigh.[/quote]

You want cell phone use to be added to a 504? Unless the phone is being used as a medical device (such as for a CGM), there's a snowball's chance in hell a school is going to add use of a cell phone as an accommodation.

Please explain how use of a phone to contact Mommy is an educational accommodation. How it necessary for your child to access the curriculum?

Poor organization of the parents, such as not coordinating after-school plans ahead of time, does not warrant a 504 accommodation at school.[/quote]

By the way, the reason I am so passionate about this is because I have a child with a 504 plan who requires actual accommodations to access the curriculum, and because of BS accommodations being added by other parents, it is very difficult to get educators to take my child's 504 plan seriously. Adding a cell phone "accommodation" in the absence of a medical need, is absurd. [/quote]

Just use email. Your kids can make a personal email address and email you from their computer.[/quote]
