[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the research is out, phones are awful for our kids. Not to mention they never belonged in classrooms to begin with. Is there any movement by MCPS to ban phones in classrooms? What’s the best way to organize for banning phones? School by school or at the MCPS level?[/quote]

If you don’t want your child to have a phone, don’t give your child a phone. Why do you feel the need to make rules or bans for everyone else’s children? [/quote]

Serious question: do you monitor your child's screen time during the school day? I ask because the parents who are adamant about their kids having cell phones in school usually also have kids who average 5-6 hours per day during school hours and text their kids constantly throughout the day.[/quote]

Yes, it's easy to set up parental controls which only allows them to make calls (for an emergency) during school hours.[/quote]

If this is what you’re doing then that would mean schools banning cell phones would have no impact for you student.  They would put it in their backpack of locker and it would never be seen in school.  If there was an emergency they would go to the office.[/quote]
