Maybe it’s a great program. But typical of FCPS it’s being implemented in a way that leaves more questions than answers.

I don't see what's so complicated about it. A box or cubbies, whatever. They aren't going to take each other's phones.

Since being in HS my DD has had her homework, study guides, and notes taken off her desk in 3 different classrooms across 3 years of HS. She will NOT be placing her phone in any storage unit.

^ And before people say my kid is a liar and just didn't do work. She has a 4.0 uw GPA and a 4.6 w GPA. And in one instance the thief was too stupid to just copy her stolen study guide he tried to hand it in but since she reported the theft to the teacher, the teacher was on the lookout and recognized her handwriting when the thief turned it in as his. So glad she is graduating this year and doesn't have to deal with this stupidity past this last year. She will keep her phone in her bookbag. We will not risk someone taking it.

The kids who don't take out their phones will just leave them in their bags. Why mess with the pouch at all?

2nd. what if our house is on fire and we need to tell our kids ? Call the office. They'll let your kid know
3rd. What if they are not felling well and need to go home early. (so many kids even high schoolers, don't know how to use the nurse phone or a phone number_. Teach your moron idiot child how to use a phone you freak. Then tell them to go to the nurse's office you psycho.
4th. How about ELL kids who don't speak English and use the phone as a translator? ESOL Teachers you dummy
My son has a friend that translate everything for him in class.

5th. What if something happens and we need to tell our kids? I HATE YOU SO MUCH
6. How do we tell teachers they can't be on the phone? If a teacher is on her or his phone can we fire a report to fire them? SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
