Put pouch on magnet
Tap the button vigorously
It opens

We went through a few that didn’t work.

Good luck - my kid is one who would have to make a choice between missing a bus and unlocking the pouch and freak out. This pouch was an unnecessary source of anxiety and I feel happy to have defeated it.

Ask to appoint a teacher to make sure students like yours are reminded to do this. Otherwise, leave that sh!t at home then and unlock it yourself. You have no business as a parent to teach your kid to do something that is egregiously against the rules.

You know nothing. My kid is one who leaves the phone turned off all school day. It only comes on to coordinate after school activities. I can’t coordinate after school activities without this damn device being actually on the kid. Unlocked.if you have the luxury of never leaving Arlington or always being home ready to chauffeur larla, you probably have no effing idea what you’re talking about.

How much in the fly coordinating are you doing? Somehow people just 5 years ago managed without giving their kids a phone.
And 1000% your kid doesn’t keep it off all school day. It’s just unrealistic to think that

Believe it or not, the kid is a rule follower and really doesn’t. You probably also don’t believe that the phone is a brick during the school day, but it is. It never has Safari, it has no messaging abilities beyond to me, it doesn’t have App Store, it has downtime from bell to bell. There is no point to turning it on. I am confident 1000% (thanks for that) that the phone is off. I can see the parental stats. It’s called being a parent.

If the phone is truly off and put away all day he could just skip the pouch. No one would ever know.

DP. No, you can’t, because they make everyone put in a phone, right? Unless you lie & say you don’t have one?

Anonymous wrote:APS is testing the pouch because kids can’t be trusted to put the phones away and keep them away. They are addicted, just as many of their parents are addicted.

In my day, before smartphones were everywhere, if a teacher or hall monitor saw you on your phone, it would be seized and sent to the principals office where you could retrieve it at the end of the day. After a certain number of strikes, your parent would be required to come in and pick it up for you. Parent couldn’t make it to school that day? Tough.

That quaint approach wouldn’t work nowadays, because phones are everywhere and there are a lot of mommies that can’t cut the apron strings and think their kids are special and should be exempt. If you expect teachers to teach, stop expecting them to be the phone police. The pouches are clumsy and expensive, but they set up the classroom for success. Kids who actually need their phones for legitimate ongoing reasons, like to control an insulin pump, will still have them handy. Kids who “need” their phones for security blanket purposes will just have to deal with their issues like people did 20 years ago.
