[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It says "MD" is included, but what are the proposing in MD? I don't see any proposal about phone usage in class. They already have a phone policy in MCPS, but it's at the teacher's discretion, and some teachers just don't care enough to do anything about phone use in the class.[/quote] Some teachers "don't care" because they're not willing to risky their physical safety and wellbeing by confronting screen addicted teens over their phone use. This exact scenario just played out in the news: https://nypost.com/2023/05/08/tennessee-teen-pepper-sprays-teacher-after-he-takes-her-phone/ Teachers should not be on the hook for enforcing MCPS's cell phone policy. It's not safe and it's not fair to them.[/quote] Then who is going to be on the hook? Policies are worthless without enforcement. Parents can encourage and support but can’t enforce school policies. That’s up to teachers and admin.[/quote]
