I was in HS between 06-2010…we were allowed to have our phones on us, but if we had them out during class they would get taken to the dean and your parents had to come pick it up.
@@JessicaJmoneydepending on how the school was structured it could be the dean. When I was in college I learned about some high schools that were structured like colleges they were for self driven kids that were academically gifted in a very good way. This place is like the Harvard if middle schools. It is privately owned. Anyways depending on the school they could have many deans so each child gets more attention. But to normal schools they will only have One principal then when you get into college they are Dean.
This is how it was when I was in high school in the late 2000s. If you got called it they take your phone from you. You get detention or suspended if you get caught too many times. They were real strict about it
Yes! I’m glad there finally doing something about it. My son had his stolen several times. Got into fights for it. I even seen elementary children with phones. Their starting to young. I didn’t give my children until 8-9th grade.
This alone would *almost* convince me to go back to teaching in the classroom. Sadly there’s still the pay and safety issues. A lot of us left during/after the pandemic, but would have stayed otherwise.
Social media and technology is to blame. Y’all need to open your eyes right now and realize how much damage our phones have done to us. Save your kids now and take away their phones. You will be surprised at how much they will change.
Well you be the example, if you have kids take away YOUR kids phones. In fact do away with YOUR phone, social media, and do not utilize technology! Go back to the stone ages!
I think it's a wonderful idea. Glad to see that some schools are implementing it. I would like to see more people-I'm talking adults-using their phones less in public. Unless you're a surgeon, I'm guessing you don't need to be on your phone 24/7.
It not phones but the students work ethic and how they learn. I am on my phone a lot in school (I’m a senior in high school) many teachers make us put away in our pockets and no correlation between phone use and grades. If a student is failing a class it not the phone it’s the student. A phone can be a distraction but students can have a phone and do work. I do it my other classmates do it so it’s not the phones but how the student was raised and how they treat school. I know a super smart girl who was always faced down on her phone and she made the honor roll for both quarters (I made for the first quarter I got a c in a class). The difference between her and others is she know what she’s doing and to do work before going on the phone. So in a normal American school if you take the phones away they’ll just talk, doodle and procrastinate. So you want to see better grades then teach your kids to pay attention and to have self control.
This is a great idea! Just have the kids focus on their school work and interact with friends without phones. I truly believe it'll do them alot of good. More schools should do this! But make an exception for students who have a continous blood glucose monitor as that is a lifeline
And also make exceptions for students who need other reasonable accommodations that might require the use of their phones. But only in these circumstances.
@@Flipper86What if your a parent and have kids and there’s an emergency, what are you going to do, go and unlock the case. Let’s say your kid is in school and is not feeling well and you’re at work with your phone locked away how do they get in contact with you to notify you
@@franciscoascencio8161 Not saying people can’t check their phones at work, just not have 24/7 access while working. In addition, every student should have non parent emergency contacts on file at school in case of emergency.
A bit extreme, but that is what got the job done. I think people should be at least use their phone during lunch time. If they don’t need to concentrate, they can use the phone.
They need to learn how to communicate with their peers and school staff, how to conduct themselves with others and have real conversations, at lunch time as well, that is part of the school day. As far as relearning how to concentrate, losing their cell for several hours a day will most definitely help with that. Parents need to start taking phones away during homework time, at the dinner table and at bedtime in order to relearn how to have a conversation and that includes the parents.
Why did it take SO long? It’s distracting and was always a point of stress when I was a substitute. You never know if you’ll get beaten up for even telling a kid to put their phone away 😂.
Here's a solution. Don't get the latest touch screen smart phones. My phone was a basic button phone and it stayed in my purse until the end of school. The only exception was when i was making sure i wasn't being contacted by the police or my dad's doctor over an emergency. And i kept that phone until some months after graduation.
I was in college but During the pandemic I met this guy who couldn’t read. He was in high school it was very sad. I hope they implement this in more high schools
#2 Parents are in the dark about the lack of skill/knowledge of their children. Quote from Time magazine: *"Nationally, 90% of parents think their children are reading and doing math at or above grade level.* In fact, 26% of eighth graders are proficient or above in math and 31% are proficient or above in English, according to Learning Heroes, an organization that collects data and creates resources to improve parent-teacher relationships." Article title: Many American Parents Have No Idea How Their Kids Are Doing In School"
My 9 year old is down to 2 hours of screen time per day. His other little friends are glued to their phones and so disregulated physically and emotionally. I can't believe phones are evening allowed in school and that some parents even TEXT their kids casually in class!!!!
It's common sense that there should be no cell phone use during school hours. It's beyond insane there has to be a discussion regarding this. Only in America.
LOL What do you mean "Only in America"? It was mentioned that it's a global problem and that other countries are starting to ban cell phones in schools.
My local county just started giving all students grades 6-12 Yonder pouches this year. I think that it is a good idea. I think that people forget that if there is an emergency and they need to get a hold of their child that all they have to do is call the school and they will see to it that the child will get the message.
As someone who literally broke her arm in school and my teacher wouldn’t let me go to the nurse (and this was back in 2008) I was glad for my flip phone. Yes, that teacher did get in trouble, and yes I was able to get to the orthopedist because I had a cell phone. In an ideal world, we would be able to trust that nothing would go wrong and that we wouldn’t need cell phones, but they are also there for emergencies. All we need is god forbid something horrible happening in one of these schools and these kids not being able to contact their relatives for this to all blow up in their faces. Sadly, we live in times where people are insane and schools are targets. I am very much against this.
Wrong. Very few people had phones even back in 2008 - everyone did fine for decades before that. Do you think an entire generation of kids's mental health and education needs to be put in jeopardy because, in your anecdotal experience, had to use the phone once? In a scale of what's more harmful to this and the next generations, KEEPING the phones is much much worse.
What happened to you was an exception, not the norm. They can live without phones for a few hours a day. In case of emergency new procedures will come up, guaranteed.
This makes sense for middle schoolers, but if you’re 17 and need your phone to be taken away from you in order to not be distracted by it, then you need to develop the self control to turn it of and/or not be distracted by it without someone needing to take it from you. No one is going be there to take it in a year or 2
I like this idea or only allow non-smart phones. I had a Blackberry in school which was good for emergencies but it never bothered me in class. I did have blackberry messager but rarely had the urge to use it until the evenings.
Pretty sure they meant by how widespread of an issue this is. Not necessarily the physical effects. There's a problem with students vaping in school, but not as big of a problem as students being distracted, etc by their phones.
My children go to a charter school and they have a no phone policy. Their phones get docked and for lunch they could use their phones but after lunch phones are back docked until the end of the day. my children say this policy is what has helped them break their addiction to their phones and now I hardly even see them with their phones in their hands even at home it’s so nice.
Who cares if students don’t talk to one another I’m all for kids locking phones in class but if they choose not to socialize why does it matter to people if they don’t
Not only are these kids distracted by these 6 inch portals. They are severely liking social skills. These students do not know how to talk to each other and it's extremely sad. They need to develop these communication skills in school So that when they enter society they know how to be a competent adult.
I understand phones are bad during class but if they are on it at lunch and not socializing who cares as long as they are doing good in school I used my phone non stop in school during lunch and i graduated a month ago
I don't appreciate phones in schools but they at least kept the bullies away. Now the autistics will be forced to socialize and so many others will be bullied. As an autistic Indian, I never thought of this. I HATED the phone use in US schools till 2 min back when that "now students socialize" scene came up.
No phones. No disrespectful behavior. Don't abuse the privilege of getting a public education. Privileges can be adjusted for the benefit of all others behaving appropriately.
as someone who is 19, was a teen before, during, and after the pandemic, it definitely had a factor. not saying phones weren’t bad pre pandemic but a lot of people definitely lost social skills, including me. and you can still see the effects now and phones and how tik tok has gotten so popular now just makes it worse
I mean for me they started it when the next year when my second year of high school it was a so call “game changer” but it was a problem for schools but I adapted when I when they lock it away (had a second phone) for the rest of the day and night the only time we use them is the evening or weekends it’s a far cry from from my first year it’s a rule that I don’t like towards the end for my high school days TwT💦
How else are students supposed to exchange phone numbers? Especially if they can’t remember them off the top of their heads? That’s another potential downside. The other potential downside would be not being able to record student abuse by faculty or effectively expose corruption within the school.
I didn't have a cell phone in high school and I think that was a lot better for me! I think I talked to people more and I tried to enjoy 'just being' more without being occupied by something!
Ok so if the school is under attack from a school shooter. I do not want my child to be without their phone. After what happened at Uvalde the only person i trust with my daughters safety is myself. Luckily i know several police officers on a personal level that work in the same precinct as my daughter's school but people are human and can freeze up. I need to know my daughter is safe and if she needs to call police then she needs access to her phone. However the phone should remain in her pocket or back pack for the whole day at school. But don't take away access and lock them up.
@@BarryBrandon-mz7gbI guess it’s the fact that a parent can have communication with their child letting them know whats going on and their current status checking in with them.
I didn’t have a cellphone in high school and still got to communicate with friends and go places without issue. Social media is a cancer. I even see my same friends today and we talk online buts it’s incredibly hard to get together.
We had to use these at the Kennedy Center prior to the Maxwell show and I loved it! It was fantastic to enjoy a show without the distraction of my phone
I am relieved that at the middle school that my thirteen-year-old attends, cell phones are not permitted to be used during school hours. Further, actually, I have not yet purchased a phone for my young teen mostly because I am of the opinion that having access to one must be an earned privilege. Very best wishes, Andrea S.
There's no way 95% of teens have phones. It's much closer to 100%. Out of the thousand low-income students in my teaching career, only one didn't have a phone. He was an orphan.
After what just happened in Georgia, cell phone band scare me. Seriously they scare me. What if the students not able to call 911? How are they gonna get help? If that school had been cell phones that death could’ve been higher.
I would much rather learn to implement proper device management and ethics - media is going no where- they and we can learn best to manage the tool, not the tools manage us
@@BarryBrandon-mz7gbtrue, but I want to believe that children do want to be educated, and do want to participate, for the most part- if there is an issue, maybe that can be addressed
In Japan, students are required to turn in their phone to the homeroom teacher before classes start. Phones play a huge role in how we think and how our brains work... i think this is a great idea that should be implemented all across the country
The interesting thing about Japanese schools is that, at least from outside looking in, they are still mostly analogue and not too much electronic implementation.
You know i think this is absolutely genius. Im in highschool currently and used to see kids on their phones all the time. I wasnt on mine often because im not addicted since the only social media i really have is TH-cam which i rarely check to begin with. My school doesnt have the yondr pouches but they have cracked down on the phone policy. My only major gripe about this, and i know it was not mentioned in the video but lots of school are also cracking down on things like headphones too, while i think thats also very wise in most cases theres some where it isnt. Where i say this ban isnt great is for certain people with stuff like ADHD or autism who use headphones to suppress noise during work time (not while teacher is teaching). I myself am one of those students that needs something to help suppress the noise of kids talking because it overwhelms me and then im on the verge of breakdown for several hours. Im also not the only kid with this issue. Thats the only part i disagree with
Sure. Let’s blame the phones instead of the parents. I got a Bark phone for my teen son. It lets me control and monitor everything while still being able to communicate with him. It’s not THAT difficult to be involved and actually parent your kid.
I believe some do, depends on the schools' rules, but in general every teacher has the magnet in their classrooms, save for like the off chance they use school issued laptops/ipads
I am a highschool student. Senior year. A lot of teachers and staff are annoyed with this no phone policy now. Because instead students are being very annoying now. Banging desks together and just yelling and being even more disruptive
@Z_-gl3xe Well, that would have me question the student and parent as to the cause of such behavior. Is there addiction problem, an inability to regulate our emotions, or is immaturity the problem. Contrary to popular belief, one does not need a cellphone. I have forgotten my phone at home and didn't turn around to retrieve it. I wish one of my students would attempt to manipulate me by such rude and immature behavior!
@@lisawilkerson8408 to add on though. For my senior class though a lot of the classes we are taking are fairly easy. We finish the work quickly and efficiently and would like to just chill on our phones but now phones are banned so we sit there pretty bored for 20 minutes… and Most of us don’t even have work from other classes because we’re so ontop of things

I didn’t have a cellphone in high school and still got to communicate with friends and go places without issue. Social media is a cancer. I even see my same friends today and we talk online buts it’s incredibly hard to get together.
I love the GMA team they have such an awesome chemistry! 👌🏻🙂
Don't give your kids a smartphone -- a flip phone will do.
I need this for myself and my household
Its about time!
We had to use these at the Kennedy Center prior to the Maxwell show and I loved it! It was fantastic to enjoy a show without the distraction of my phone
i aint letting no grimy school hands on my phone
It's about time.
The students just hand in their old phone and hide their active one according to a teacher I know.
That was my very first thought. A teen can easily buy a used, secondary phone for $20-50 and use wifi instead of cell data.
I am relieved that at the middle school that my thirteen-year-old attends, cell phones are not permitted to be used during school hours. Further, actually, I have not yet purchased a phone for my young teen mostly because I am of the opinion that having access to one must be an earned privilege. Very best wishes,

I've been saying that for years.
There is absolutely no place for a phone in a school
Ahh yes take phones away instead of thinking about when there is gonna be an emergency and we need them the most
But if something happend some realative who need to contact the kids. some realative maybe get in to hospital or something
Back in my day, mid 2010s, parents would contact the front office in case of an emergency.
you maybe have to call and take photo of you food at lunch

Then the office can call the student's classroom, like had been done for a hundred years prior.
There's no way 95% of teens have phones. It's much closer to 100%. Out of the thousand low-income students in my teaching career, only one didn't have a phone. He was an orphan.
After what just happened in Georgia, cell phone band scare me. Seriously they scare me. What if the students not able to call 911? How are they gonna get help? If that school had been cell phones that death could’ve been higher.
I'm with it!! 😊 My son's high school just implemented these.
AS THEY SHOULD!
The phone addiction epidemic is way out of control.
This should not be in high school. Only middle school and below. Otherwise, I agree.
My high school is terrible so maybe for my school specifically lol
Makes me glad I graduated tho
This has been done in England years ago and it is brilliant brilliant brilliant keep your eye on England for brilliant 0:33
I would much rather learn to implement proper device management and ethics - media is going no where- they and we can learn best to manage the tool, not the tools manage us
Let’s see how that works out. LOL
If kids won't listen, you can't manage the tool or child.
@@BarryBrandon-mz7gbtrue, but I want to believe that children do want to be educated, and do want to participate, for the most part- if there is an issue, maybe that can be addressed
Ok I agree with this to a certain extent they need to have cameras with audio in the classrooms to protect students from teachers
Christ why are those pouches so overpriced though... 30 dollars for a piece of fabric?
All schools need to do this
But why???
This is necessary
Social media and online dating should be banned at all ages. It's just terrible for humanity.
Can you please stop be dramatic🙃
In some extra-curricular teams, by doing this, we may not have enough time to jot down everything on paper.
Learn to do what everyone else has been doing pre- smart phones.
Basically, it’s school in the 90s & early/mid 00s lol
In Japan, students are required to turn in their phone to the homeroom teacher before classes start. Phones play a huge role in how we think and how our brains work... i think this is a great idea that should be implemented all across the country
The interesting thing about Japanese schools is that, at least from outside looking in, they are still mostly analogue and not too much electronic implementation.
$30?!
You know i think this is absolutely genius. Im in highschool currently and used to see kids on their phones all the time. I wasnt on mine often because im not addicted since the only social media i really have is TH-cam which i rarely check to begin with. My school doesnt have the yondr pouches but they have cracked down on the phone policy.
My only major gripe about this, and i know it was not mentioned in the video but lots of school are also cracking down on things like headphones too, while i think thats also very wise in most cases theres some where it isnt. Where i say this ban isnt great is for certain people with stuff like ADHD or autism who use headphones to suppress noise during work time (not while teacher is teaching). I myself am one of those students that needs something to help suppress the noise of kids talking because it overwhelms me and then im on the verge of breakdown for several hours. Im also not the only kid with this issue. Thats the only part i disagree with
I am 100% agree with this plan
Excellent!
I read this morning somewhere: “We don’t talk enough about how looking at our phone while a loved is telling a story is a form of rejection”
Same thing as law-enforcement as discipline
Great idea
Sure. Let’s blame the phones instead of the parents. I got a Bark phone for my teen son. It lets me control and monitor everything while still being able to communicate with him. It’s not THAT difficult to be involved and actually parent your kid.
Good!
All BS. Teach responsibility. Everyone wants a quick fix instead of putting in the work
I think they should at least get them during lunch
I believe some do, depends on the schools' rules, but in general every teacher has the magnet in their classrooms, save for like the off chance they use school issued laptops/ipads
I am a high school teacher, and I have noticed more students engaged with one another in the lunchroom.
I am a highschool student. Senior year. A lot of teachers and staff are annoyed with this no phone policy now. Because instead students are being very annoying now. Banging desks together and just yelling and being even more disruptive
@Z_-gl3xe Well, that would have me question the student and parent as to the cause of such behavior. Is there addiction problem, an inability to regulate our emotions, or is immaturity the problem. Contrary to popular belief, one does not need a cellphone. I have forgotten my phone at home and didn't turn around to retrieve it.
I wish one of my students would attempt to manipulate me by such rude and immature behavior!
@@lisawilkerson8408 to add on though. For my senior class though a lot of the classes we are taking are fairly easy. We finish the work quickly and efficiently and would like to just chill on our phones but now phones are banned so we sit there pretty bored for 20 minutes… and Most of us don’t even have work from other classes because we’re so ontop of things
