[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Yorktown, they are now confiscating phones if they are seen in the lunch room.  My DC is following the rules, but said morale is really low, especially among seniors.[/quote]

Well yeah of course if you are practically addicted to something and then you have to go cold turkey of course you are going to be sad and depressed. Duh. I am sure they will get over it. [/quote]

This is missing the point.  They can use their phones if they leave campus.  The frustration is that they are 17/18 years old and are being treated like 9 year olds.  [/quote]

High school is made up of children ages 14-18 years old.  The addiction of phones is worst at that age.   I cannot for the life of me understand how you can possibly believe that removing phones from an educational environment that children go to to learn for about 6 hours a day is at all treating them like 9 year olds.  9 year olds don’t need a cell phone ban because they are not addicted to to phones in school like your senior is.

All day is ridiculous overkill, which fortunately the school board recognized.

No the problem is that the board did ban them all day, just like the crazies wanted. [/quote]

You ARE the crazies.[/quote]
