[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be one of the few who would not like it if my daughter's high school banned phones. My daughter has had her phone since middle school and it has never been an issue. She has instagram and tiktok on her phone, both which she rarely uses. She doesn't have snap chat. She has never posted on Instagram and doesn't even click on stories. She is a straight A student who basically uses her phone as a tool and for occasional entertainment. During the day I like that she can reach me and vice versa. I think by high school, students need to learn to moderate themselves.

I would add that her middle school did not allow phones past the front desk. She never brought her phone to middle school.

You know,  most of us went to school before cell phones and we could still early contact our parents by using a payphone.  Not that those are around anymore,  but I'm sure your dc's school has a phone they can use.[/quote]

Just because your kids can’t control their impulses shouldn’t deny my child of access to a valuable tool during the school day. [/quote]

Just because you're a helicopter parent doesn't mean the school should cater to your wishes. See, I can be nasty, too![/quote]
Let me see if I have this right—the parent who wants to completely control not only their own child’s cellphone use but also that of every other student in their high school is calling the person who wants to allow cellphones a helicopter parent?

That’s some real pot meet kettle nonsense right there. [/quote]
