[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spend a lot of time in different classrooms in different schools watching the system in action.

It's not that FCPS is in decline. It's that your kid has a cell phone, and you just cannot imagine how much that time and attention sink is hurting his/her education.

So why not have a no phone in classroom policy? [b]If it is out, goes on teachers desk or sent to office[/b]. I never understood why it wasn’t a rule? We enforced from home by restricting as much as we could but as they got older we were told they also used in class. But once assignments over, rule should activate.[/quote]

Because mommy needs 24/7 access to her kid {you can't believe how many parents text their kid during the school day} and schools don't want to be responsible if something happens to Larlo's new iPhoneX.[/quote]

I'd support the no phone in the classroom policy, but I remember in FCPS HS when they would confiscate any phones any teacher saw (even if phone was off, even if it was during lunch or before or after school hours) and require the parents come to the office to retrieve it.

While I'd be fine having the phone taken away from the kid during the day, I'd be furious if as a parent I gave a kid a phone for safety reasons to walk home and the school kept it from them.
