[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't use your phone when you're going through customs, either. Schools get to impose rules, too. Kids enjoy the break from phones as well, by the way.[/quote]

Personally, I haven't been through customs in years so it's a non-issue.  As a parent, it's my responsibility to control and monitor the phone.  See how that works.  Its easy to lock it down or shut it off.[/quote]
How are you monitoring and controlling your kids' phone usage when they are in class?

There are a lot of things kids cannot bring to school, like if they little Jimmy wanted to bring his ps4, the school would confiscate it and return it at the end of the day.

I stated earlier, they can use phone pouches, so your little snowflake won't have their phones taken away; they just won't be able to use it unless the teacher unlocks the pouch.[/quote]

Easy to see the usage.

If my kid has an allergic reaction, I want them to call me.

If there is an incident at school or somewhere else, I want them to call me as I will go get them.

If I have an issue and cannot get them, I want to be able to contact time.

If they need to let me know something like school supplies or a change, they need to contact me.

As a parent its my job to deal with it, not the teachers.

My snowflakes can just yell out when they need me right now so it's not an issue.  [/quote]
If your kid has an allergic reaction the first thing they should do is go to the health tech, and have them deal with it. They can then call you.
If there is an incident at the school, it will be on lockdown, and they won't let you near the building.
If you have an issue, you can still contact them, and they can see it after class ends. That is how the pouch works.

How on earth did parents deal with reaching kids before smartphones?  Did your kid have a smartphone with them when they were 5, 6, 7?

As a parent, you parent, but when they are in school, the teachers are responsible for the kids in the class.
