This actually has been a thing, from the first day high schoolers had cell phones. It's just that the "thing" has grown more and more as cellphones do more, more "exciting" apps, etc.
Buy your child a flip phone if you’re that worried about needing to contact them during an emergency. These smartphones are making it next to impossible to keep kids engaged in the classroom. Part of the problem is the PARENTS bothering them all day too though 😒😒😒
@@brucecampbell4528I needed one because I went to school in a different town and pay phones were being phased out. I was only allowed to call my parents, and where I worked.
I think it’s cruel to punish everyone. These pouches should only be for frequent offenders. This way, it teaches kids self control instead of being over controlled.
There are many jobs that you aren't allowed to have your phone at. Never mind having them in a pouch with you. This is getting them ready for real world stuff.
@@mktay2067those are jobs at least they are getting paid . They should be teach them discipline. Not being forced . It will not bring good results in their later life .
All the apps they use are addiction machines lol they use push notifications and everything to keep that person lookin at it. Because thats how they make money. Blame the apps and social media.
why do we not look into why children prefer cell phones to class work. long before Iphones children were bored out of their minds in school, they just passed notes or daydreamed...I suggest that if schools taught hands on survival skills, children would be very enthusiastically engaged....gardening, wood shop, nature outings, of course, academic subjects too...but cell phone use is more a SYMPTOM than a cause, the cause is ROTE LEARNING... kids were just as bored with the useless memorize and spit it out crap in the 80s as they are today. they just smoked cigarettes in the restroom rather than texting during class. if kids had their hands in soil and on jigsaws hammers and paint brushes, they would not be reaching aimlessly for cell phones. they could then grow up to be artisans and gardeners and homesteaders rather than just mindless pencil pushers and reckless consumers. Iphones actually serve to prepare children for this ugly toxic consumer paradigm.
Yea but there are also kids in pretty fun electives im in that also just cannot get off their phone. But also it entirely depends on the teacher, like teachers in classes I have, try to incorporate what they’re teaching and explain how you can use from what they taught you in the real world. Subjects like reading, math, history are still needed since well you don’t want to be totally clueless and also are important. It’s stuff you should know before going into the real world.
Adults and parents will never understand why we use phones there a useful tool I don’t understand why it’s being banned.. In my classroom in BC my teacher is the most chillest teacher allows me to go in my phone do whatever you have to do. However she said learn from me you choose to put in the work or fail that’s you’re choice and I think that’s a great idea to study giving access to help on questions and perhaps a little break from 2hours of talking
Because of course some kids will abuse their phone privileges and not pay attention. It may not be in your class but certainly all around. And because of those kids, everyone basically gets punished.
Teachers have a phone you know that right and even then there are emergency measures in place. Knowing a school like this with these procedures I’m assuming they have a security guard
Parents can buy simple flip phones and only activate them enough to call 911. But honestly, just as it's crazy that there's this much technology to combat, this much crowdedness, this much everything in public schools on top of worrying if your child is going to get shot... This is why I support home education.
No thank you. I had a cellphone when I was still in school and I was responsible with it. I don’t need my child not having access to a device in case of an emergency just because it’s locked away. My child will have a device on them at all times, even if that means I take them out of that specific school.
@@draculadd school administration (nurse, teacher, etc) can call you. That's how we've done it since Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone. If something bad enough happened to your kid they're going to be unable to call you anyway. And if you need to contact your child in an emergency they will gladly pull them out of class if you call them. That's how I and everyone else I know growing up handled it and it wasn't an issue.
For everyone complaining yall havent seen the videos of kids calling 911 from their classroom to report a shooter? Or recorded their teachers being racist? Yall just dont look at the bigger picture
@@Art.d.f And kids grew up and figured it out for themselves. Like I don't remember ONE time my parents drove me to school. Bus, bike, walk. Independeny from DAY 1. We walked home from Nursery School and Kindergarten in San Francisco! We weren't coddled like generations since. hippy were to soft with their kids. And they had ENTITLED kids.
This is basically why I quit my job as a high school teacher. My school had no cell phone policy and administrators discouraged confiscating phones! Class time was a complete waste of everyone's time! I couldn't get kids to pay attention and participate to save my life. And the cheating was out of control. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
@@lefthookouchmcarm4520 I know you're joking, but my boss actually used to tell me stuff like this. "Play music. Play reggaeton. Play stuff the kids like." 😑😑
I understand why phones are banned in middle schools but why high schools once your in high school that’s when most teens start dating getting a job driving and much more and that stuff can mean you need a phone
@@TimberlakeTigerGirlI would debate no phone in class not in the whole school cus if someone switched your case and in the video it looked like all cases r d same
School shootings are more frequent than ever and if I didn't have my cell to talk to my parents or brother when we went into lockdown idk what I would've done.
It wasn't a drill for us though. Doubt you were ever told you had a bomb otw to school. That morning we locked down because there was supposedly an actual shooter. They opened the announcement with "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" Really thought I was texting my parents for the last time. @@punapeter
A fridge magnet will open the latch, and the pouch is just a thin neoprene and foam layer. Pretty easy to cut open with a standard pen or even house key.
There are still hundreds of phones in any given school. How do you think they called 911 before cell phones in schools? The .0001 percent chance there's going to be a shooting doesn't justify the hundred percent chance most kids are getting a way shittier education because they're distracted with their phones. The cost benefit analysis of having your phone in class doesn't support your view at all.
The benefit of having cell phones is way better than relying on a wired phone that may not work all of the time. Not every school has a phone that works when you really need it. Kids know when they shouldn't be on their phone. They just don't care. It's common sense. Why type a paragraph over a simple question? Smh 🙄
@@babycakes5339 Hidding and escaping is far more important than calling your parents. You risk being exposed, baiting more potential victims or encourage the shooter at fleeing or being more agressive. Safety and escape first, call after.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Not according to the supreme court or our constitution. Now adults love to suppress your rights. But they are your rights too. Unless they can take your citizenship away.
@criticalyeet1916 The only thing that is considered a right for minors is having the right to live, get an education and being in a safe environment. But literally everything else is a privilege given to them by their parents/adult authority figures.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Property laws is probably your best bet. Illegal search and seizure is an area that wins in Phone school cases. Smoeone paid for the phone other then the school, not their property. Cannot be searched unless probable cause for crime can be proven. If you attend PUBLIC school.
I grew up without a cellphone when I was in middle school and high school (cell phones weren't a thing back then) and it's not something these kids need while in school. If anything it makes you have more self-control and discipline that you can't just use something that you are addicted to using because that's all it is. Cell phone use is an addiction. It isn't needed, it's just something you want. I want to eat bacon everyday, doesn't mean I should be doing that.
We weren't allowed to use our phones in school in Germany. I thought that's how it's done everywhere xD How do you focus on the lessons when you can use your phone? (I graduated in 2014) What's weird to me are the pouches. We just had to turn our phones off and keep them in our bags.

The u.s. Kids would all sneak them out of their bags and play on them during class all day. I went to school in Germany and in the U.S. american kids are raised with no manners and no discipline by parents that are self entitled karens and Ken's. Americans all feel they have rights over everyone else around them; inwhich means noone has rights. Germans feel right are for everyone and are more respectable to one another. The u.s. is driven by greed and religious fanaticsm. The religious fanaticsm in the u.s. is fior white supremacy, money, power, greed and the torture and abuse of everyone else. The u.s. religious fanatics have turned the u.s. to extreme facism.
Should be a standard across America Edit: the lady towards the end 😂 "how am I supposed to contact my kids when I need to when they're in school?" Me: oh idk lady, maybe the same way your parents contacted you when you went to school.......THROUGH THE SCHOOL!!!
Right so when there is a shooting you want parents to be worried sick about their child. How will the kids call the cops and communicate if need be during a shooting or another emergency? Have you thought about that?
@@danielchou5895yeah I have, maybe arm the teachers, lock down the schools get people mental health help instead of catering to them like nothing is wrong and people who don't accept your mental illness as a normally thing are bigots then maybe you won't have to worry about school shootings. That phone won't help you much when someone is running through the school shooting with an AR I think we've seen it happen too many times now and what good did the phone do huh?
@@danielchou5895schools have had emergencies since they’ve been around: a cell phone may allow a student to reach out to their family to say they’re ok and give temporary relief, but 1) it certainly cannot guarantee their continued safety in the event of an emergency and 2) police are not at the mercy of kids with cell phones to know if a school is under attack- _the school_ would also be aware and will call the police (some even have panic buttons similar to banks making an actual ph call unnecessarily). Either way, in an emergency like that, difficult as it would be, it’s a “wait and pray” situation no matter what - a cell isn’t going to magically transport our kids out of it. (Also to say “when” and not if is a very skewed way to look at it-hopefully it would not happen but) Either way, what is gained *daily* by students locking their phones away far outweighs what *may not* ever even happen.
Also School security needs to work the same way law enforcement security works. IF A STUDENT WANTS TO SUE. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUE. SCHOOLS HAS IDENTIFICATION ON EVERYBODY! And kids if you’re reading this, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
Went to school in the 90s. I (including several generations of students before me) survived classes without cellphones. These kids will be fine a few hours without their gadgets
My friends and family that are teachers say cellphones are one of their biggest headaches. Those are the same pouches used at comedy shows, sounds like a good idea for schools too.
I didn’t know that the pouches were used at shows! 🙌 Need them at the 🎦. Recently I had to get uppity with someone literally talking on their 📱 to make them be respectful and put it away!

While I understand parents need for emergency contact with students, parents need to understand that 90% of behavioral issues at school revolves around cellphone usage. Threats. Inappropriate videos. Tikok. Cheating. And lack of engagement. Instructional time lost over cellphone usage. And parents...please stop running to the school to bail your child's cellphone out of cellphone jail. Oftentimes you are at the school within 30 minutes of the phone being taken which means the child violated cellphone usage calling you to come get the phone.
@@stevenroshni1228 I have students who call the parents as soon as you take it. by the time you find classroom coverage to go to the office, the parent is already there to pick up the phone. I don't get that type of response for disrespect, poor grades, and missing class.
@@tararansom2750i don’t see locking the phone up as the answer. What happen to enforcing old fashion rules. A lot of inappropriate teachers have been exposed by cell phones. If the student doesn’t listen, then take the phone. Allow those who are responsible users to have them in case of emergencies. Making sure everybody locks up there phone sounds like a huge waste of time especially if there are ways to get around it. Such as a burner phone being locked up while the real phone is kept in secret. 💡
@esils I teach 135 students in 6 classes. Enforcing cellphone rules from 8-3. Confiscating phones when rules are violated is a daily occurrence and an interruption of the learning process. You got to confiscate the phone, find someone to cover your class, take the phone to the office, and then call the parent. Sometimes the students behavior is egregious and they escalate matters because they argue or fight over phone. Phones are a more of a problem in the classroom than a benefit in case of emergencies. 8-3 every day put your phone up, stop texting, stop listening to music, turn your phone off, don't take calls from your parent or guardian. Every day. Locking the phones up at the start of the day is less stressful on all. And let's not forget the angry parents you deal with when you take the phone. Bullying, inappropriate pictures, inappropriate usage, cheating. Please tell me what harm does it cause to either leave the phone at home or lock it up at the start of the day. When parents tell me they tired of phone calls about a phone, I tell them there is a simple solution. Take the phone. You get calls because the child violates the rules. If the child can't respect the rules, take the phone. But nobody wants to take the phone away.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!!! a bunch of people in the comments are saying "wE WeNt tO sChOoL iN tHe '90s We DiDnT nEeD PhOnEs" but back in the '90s "situations which shall not be named" were INCREDIBLY rare. People need to realize the kids aren't sending themselves to school with their cellphones, it's the parents making them. Even in my small town, my class of 70, some parents make them bring phones to to school, whether it's for the child's health (my friend with diabetes used his phone as a diabetes monitor) or just plain safety.
I haven't entered a public school since 2005. It is incredible how dependent kids are on these phones. They should have implemented this over a decade ago.
I'm around your age, and yeah, cell phones were absolutely not allowed when I was in high school in the early 2000s. Then when smart phones came around, there was so much nativity in education about harnessing technology to promote learning. It has been a complete disaster. There's a whole generation of young people that have limited attention spans, stunted social skills and no critical thinking abilities.
@@ninjanerdstudent6937 you might have made a point there if the schools didn’t make it so you rely on internet access and handheld devices to do everything. And I’m sorry but I don’t trust the public school system’s authority and policies for student safety given an actual crisis happens.
The kids down here in Uvalde having access to their phones provided the (useless!) LEOs on scene with vital info about what was going on in the school. Decades before cells phones, when my kid was in a NM school with an active shooter, a phone would have allowed her to let us know she was ok. It would have saved us nearly 3 hours of terror not knowing if she was alive. Parents now have that line to their kids in an emergency.
You're talking about uvalde, the place where they did nothing for about an hour, even having the important information that you're so reluctantly defending. You're a dunce.
@@monkeyundies2525 Great idea. With these pouches, though the phone itself is inaccessible altogether. I don't want kids distracted but my child is now nearly 40 and we STILL haven't figured out how to stop people from shooting up the school.
@@tedhardulak7698 And I would put a limit on the time they use the computer. I would only allow them to play video games that would make them interested in learning something productive, like space flight simulation games or historical video games.
I didn't allow beep beep ding ding electronic toys in my house. Tools make better toy for kids. They can learn to play as the learn to work. I have a picture of me with my first tool belt on one hip and a six-gun holster on my other hip. TOOLS make better toys that beep beep plastic crap.
can yall just accept the fact that technology if advancing and stop saying crap like "they need to learn the old way" we all grew up different, and kids today grew up with phones so we cant help it
Actually you can. Frankly, minors shouldn't be allowed smartphones at all. A simple flip phone for calling only should be the only thing minors should have. And ban all social media too
@@ayuanabradford3206 Same with the kids getting word out about a shooter. Also, you never know if an emergency pops up and the kid needs to call his parents.
Well I'll leave them at home while they're at school if there's an emergency that bad the parents can tell the school and the school can come and get the kids kids are there to learn they're not there to text and watch videos@@rensinclair4218
Students doing poorly has nothing to do with the phones. Most teachers now aren’t qualified to teach. I grew up in a time that cell phones weren’t prevalent in school . But it’s modern and dangerous times where everyone should have access to their phone. It will be a lot of old one dimensional unintelligent people who will say the kids shouldn’t have it because they didn’t have it in their time, the truth is a lot of kids struggle because of parents like you that they have at home dinosaurs.
Do you have a study to back your claims? Look up Jonathan Haidt and see for yourself how phones are extremely dangerous to young teens. There is a reason why this generation is doing so bad in school, and it's not the teachers. Did it not cross your mind that many many teachers from the previous generation are the same as now? How come only this specific generation of teens be doing so bad?
Nope sometimes it is the phone. As a highschooler myself there are definitely kids distracted in class because of phones. I don’t think it requires a lock down on everyone’s phone but I think should be enforced on those type of kids only
If you’re so nervous about the welfare of your child buy them a life alert. Bye. These kids with phones are literally doing NONSENSE during the school day. It’s not academic. It’s social media nonsense.
If they are asking students to hand over their phones that is a really bad idea because their phone may up getting lost or stolen and that will only increase a student’s anxiety
Too bad there isn’t cubbies in each classroom to place them in. With school shootings being an issue, it’s nice to stay connected to your child when something so horrific happens. However, I completely understand why this is an issue of concern during class time. Double edge sword.
If I had to nitpick an issue, it’s that using free apps is better than forcing kids to buy scientific calculators; I remember those things costing like $80
*For anyone who is concerned about this policy:* 1.) Having a phone is a privilege; not a right. 2.) Numerous studies have concluded that having 0 phones in classrooms increase attentiveness, grades and social wellbeing. Not to mention it decreases anxiety and depression overall. 3.) If a parent needs to get a hold of their kid, they can call the school, that student will be notified, and sent to the office to call them back. 4.) In an event of an emergency, the school will do everything (in their power) to keep the students safe. It is their job after all. 5.) The students can have their phones back after school. The classroom is where kids are supposed to focus and learn. 6.) If (God forbid) a teacher "behaves badly" in front of a student, that teacher will get notified by other students/faculty members, and the school will take action accordingly. No teacher wants a spotty record (regardless if the allegations are true or false). Plus, students have the ability to fill out anonymous feedback forms to critique their teacher's performance. 7.) For students with diabetes: There will be some exceptions if the conditions are that serious.
It sounds like the parents are having a hard time adjusting just as much as the students. I feel them tho. We survived back then. Now they get to have a piece of the past we miss and loved so much.
I understand this. Luckily I went to HS in the early 2000s. Just the beginning of kids having cell phones. The only thing is what about for emergency purposes? The way the amount of school shootings has increased dramatically its better to have the phones. If schools are gonna be strict on this they better be strict on weapons.
How much does it help emergency situations though? Teachers should be able to call emergency personnel and while as a parent it would be nice to connect to my child immediately after an issue I would rather them not have the ability for bullying to the level they can with phones
@@Solo-RoadCause most of those commenters are just kids trying to make up strawman arguments, when in reality they just want any justification to have their phone in their hands 24/7 "BuT BuT wHaT hApPeNs iF..."
It's good way to make students focus on their education at least while they're in the classroom. In Korea, 99% of schools already did this back in 2012. They don't even carry the phone. Teachers take their phone into the bag, and give them back when the shool is finished. But I don't think this is 100% bset solution for students. It's 90% best solution for school. The real education begins afterschool. They are studying, learning at home. What they need the most is someone should teach them not to addicted to phone all day. Dicipline by themseleves is more important.
This is a violation of the students rights. No they don't have a right to be in their phones but they have a right to have the phone in them and to be able to use in an emergency. They also have a right to have it on their person or in their bag as long as it isn't disrupting school. Schools need to take a step back and check themselves. Their authority comes from the parents not the state.
Students have no rights at all. Have you not been paying attention to the number of laws passed making parents the sole decider on what their kids can or can't do? Minors don't have rights, they have privileges. Privileges which can be revoked if the parents and school say so.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Your comment is absolutely ignorant, of course the have rights, and for the record the authority that school has over kids is given to them by the parents. In other words school answer to the parents. This idea that schools have the authority to dictate whatever they want is asinine
@aubreygmcghee And obviously the parents are okay with this since they give the school the authority to confiscate phones. If the parents bought the phone and pay the bill, it's technically their property not the childs. Like I said, phones are a privilege which can be revoked by adult authority figures, schools and parents, whether the kids like it or not. Deal with it.
Don’t your parents sign an agreement when signing you up for a school. You’re basically agreeing to the school’s rules so technically, although it may be wrong, it is perfectly allowed
These kids needa be in the “special” classes. Cus they parents failed them. They teenagers but talk and behave like grade schoolers. Its the culture i guess
I immediately lose any sympathy for a parent when they use the excuse of "When there is an emergency..." kids went to school for decades without access to a phone for emergencies. Trust me, you can adapt. Call the office if it is a true emergency, don't sabotage your student's success by excusing access to a smartphone during class.
Yes, the emergency excuse is ridiculous. In our day parents had to call the front office and it was just fine. Should there be a school shooting there is absolutely nothing a parent can do over the phone. I currently work in a DAEP school and students aren't allowed to even bring cell phones in the building and it is great.
As a high school student, these pockets are ridiculous. Imagine you have an emergency, example as a girl if you start your period or bleed through your pants? I’m not walking out of that bathroom until I have a solution, generally through my friends or mom. I also think it should be up to the students if they want to learn or not. Don’t make someone work in school, they will suffer the consequences, not the teacher or school. My school has phone pockets to put your phone in. Only two teachers take attendance from it, the other two don’t care because we often use our phones in class to work on our assignments or turn things in, even listening to music. One teacher that takes attendance from the pouch lets you keep your phone if you are a week ahead, as it is a self paced course. I slacked off and got behind, but decided to change and get a week ahead. I got my phone during class, used it for music, texting and occasional scrolling. I’m now two weeks ahead because I can take breaks and think about my assignments more. To be exact I am now 13 days ahead including weekends, 9 school days ahead. If your class is boring kids aren’t going to want to pay attention. The school teaching system needs to be fixed, not the kids.
Let's just face it. We live in a world now where everyone has a cell phone. It's very addictive. I know I do it too. But go to school to learn. You got all day when you get home to play on your phones.
Face it? LOL NO "everyone" doesn't have those sucker's "Can you hear me Now/Personal tracking devices" (RFID chips) YOU paid for. NO ignorant sheeple did that. App clowns. Know nothing "Influencers". I know lots of people that don't have that monthly bill. My land line and internet on it is $43. a month, 24/7 streaming unlimited data. Suckers buy chargeable phones. LOL I can't wait for the EMP to seperate the wheat from the chaff.
@@punapeter I don’t think this matters as much because when you become an adult you have more freedom, so it shouldn’t matter if your wasting time on your phone it’s your life
It's a good thing that nothing horrific or tragic ever happens at schools all over this country that would require the use of a phone to contact police that won't go into a building for some reason or to call their parents one last time. Nope, nothing like that has ever happened. 🙃🙃🙃
In 2011-2015, if we were caught with a Phone, it was automatic ISS, detention and if you were caught with it on a Friday , you didn’t get it back until Monday.
That’s illegal if I was a parent I’d be mad but I’d still punish my kid but the school has no right taking phones and excepting students to not have it until Monday
Amazing to me are the parents concerned how they will communicate emergencies if no cell phones….how was it handled BEFORE cell phones? That’s right, parents called school offices to give messages. These parents are just feeding the kid’s addiction to cell phones.
Maybe instead of taking phones away from everyone they teach kids self controll and parents should learn how to set restrctions on their kids phones. If your not teaching them self controll, then you not doing them any favors when they become adults.
If there is a family emergency you call the office and they will go get your child if warranted just like they did before cell phones.. They don't need their phone. That's a BS reason.
@@finchborat Well, you can call it garbage or a gimmick but that will be the way to go. This strategy has already shown improved concentration in classrooms and will definitely lead to improved performance in public schools. The school office desk will always be available to reach the child incase of any emergencies. Kids are there to LEARN not chill and text on their phone which they happen to have incase of any emergencies.
@etanoll4179 Schools can enforce their rules however they see fit. Only parents have the right to challenge rules if they see them as unfair. Students have absolutely no say in the matter. Especially with all the bills being passed, giving parents absolute authority over their children in every aspect.
@etanoll4179 Then they can take it up with the school. But it takes more than one complaint to change the rules. If the rule is put to a vote, and the majority of those on the school board and parents are in favor of the ban. Then your parents have no choice but to comply. They could threaten to sue, but I doubt that'll get far.
Were they still learning? No. I already know your follow up question, "How do you know?". I know because I understand how the human brain works. You are a child, it is the responsibility of adults to make some decisions for you. When you are older or have children of your own, you will understand.
I completely disagree with these schools to ban cell phones use I don’t think that it’s a good idea because what would happen if a school gets taken hostage by criminals and they they start killing innocent people like your own children. How would they call for help like say the police they can’t because it’s locked away. This is a terrible idea to me. You need to be able to use that cell phone but only for emergencies only like that example above.
You do realize schools have landlines right? They are pretty quick in calling 911 to get help before they are forced to cut the power in case of an electrical hazard.
It's great that kids these days are finally paying attention, but what happens in a school shooting situation? How many more people die because victims can't call for help?
I agree with this just to enforce discipline. BUT in reality, all information being taught in schools are available in a click away with smartphones. Calculus and Physics concepts are easier to grasp most of the time with youtube than actual classroom set ups.... This is why majority of the students are bored with slow, sometimes not straight to the point delivery of topics in a classroom. I mean financial literacy is not even taught in schools unless otherwise it is a course...
Financial literacy is not included in schools because students' parents should be teaching them the in's and outs of finances. 🙄 This isn't the first time I've heard a brainless sheep bring this up as a revolutionary idea. Yawn...
Classrooms are already archaic, the concept of sitting in a room of people who are either bored bc they already know the material or distracted bc they don’t understand it, school could be way more personally designed and engaged if utilizing online elements, any school who implements this will just end up with wasted money once the kids damage the cases or just bring an old phone
@@Beautyaddixion not all schools have finacial lit. as far as being on the phone, have you seen how classes are built? that structure doesn't provide a good environment for the way the world is today. i see more teachers on phones than students.
In the 90s as a kid, whenever there was an emergency, our parents would call the school or the student with any issues would have their parents called. If they’re so worried, give them a flip phone. My 10 year old nephew is hooked already on his phone. If I had a kid, I would try my best to not allow them to have one until they’re like 16.
this whole "pay attention" "obey my authority" "stop talking" "Im talking!!!" "you are dismissed when i say you are dismissed" goes to show that school is nothing more than a place for adults to release their pent of years of abuse to enforce their power over others. Bro why are schools still a thing? shouldnt professionals in the field of learning just make an app specially formulated to teach kids pre-k - 12th grade everything they need to know and give them fun things to do and if they dont want to learn anymore then just let them be. Why should learning be forced upon kids? Let the kids be kids. dont you know that the nerds will always be nerds and the jocks always be jocks and so on and so on. I for one love learning but over the years the level of anxiety and annoyance with learning has gotten on my nerves. i swear if i have to sit in another class and wait for the school year to be over just to do it again happens idk i might die of an anxiety attack. I love learning on my own but its not everyday and when i do ask questions and i go out seeking for answers im bound to get them from the internet but with its due time.

Kids have a better chance of being struck by lightening and being involved in a serious car accident. Sounds we just need to lock kids up in cages to keep them safe from everything.
This sort of collective punishment just makes kids resent their administrators. I could get behind a policy against using phones during class. If enforced, it would achieve the same results without violating the individual freedoms of those who are doing no wrong. But let’s be honest, kids aren’t given rights- especially in a state like Alabama where corporal punishment is still commonplace into high school.
While I do not disagree with the idea of keeping students on topic, it does raise my concern that should someone have a medical emergency or need their phone for certain things; they would not have the means to access assistance via cellular devices which may be used to communicate with parents in the event a child needs to talk to their parents over a non school owned/issued device which would hinder their education in an environment where most of the work is online and paper tests are seldom used in this day and age. Further more, it would be rather pointless to have an environment where the student is forced to either smuggle their own belongings in or face leaving it in a location where they are unable to ensure the safety of the device where the school may have an it department that possesses the capabilities to remotely access or unlock the private device through third party software or hardware in which it would be violating the student's right to privacy

@@stevetaxpayer6664you forgot to mention the parent failed the child. If proper discipline took place at home, like it should in school, there wouldn’t be a need for these pouches in the first place.
@@Kingneo0053 having a phone doesn't make you much safer in case of school shooter, especially if the armed officers are too terrified to enter the building and save the kids (and that actually happened). there was a case where children begged on the phone for officers to come and rescue them. none came to help and soon after the children waiting for police to come, including those who called for help, were all shot. but if it makes you feel better, you could always let kids bring flip phones that can only call and text.
There should be some exceptions to lock away cellphones. The main one is that the person has been ordered not to put the cellphone in a lock-away pouch because of a physically disabled or medical condition. In this case, the nature of the disability or condition must be certified by a licensed physician, surgeon, or chiropractor, and the reason why the inappropriate use of putting a phone in a lock-away pouch must be addressed. The certification must be in the person's possession.
I can get a teacher taken away everyone's phone during a test but if a school shooting happens, how will the students be able to access their phone to contact emergency authority or someone close to them I'm just saying this has a huge flaw. Until they can figure out that they shouldn't implement this
No way, my kid goes to school in downtown L.A, and the crime rate and homeless rate is high around her. They had a locked down once last year, and she text me and kept me posted. I'm not okay with this. It's used for safety often.
@mediamilitia7572 I don't live in Montgomery, where this video is based on. And no, I surely did not vote on a school district ordinance regarding cell phones in high schools.
This is stupid them students need their phones to call their parents incase of a real emergency like who cares about what the school wants them teenagers need their phones for notes and things you know it’s unfair they have to lock it away and don’t get to use it at all durning school hours that’s ridiculous whoever made that rule needs all them angry parent’s opinions
Our high school tried to do this, but it cause some issues. My granddaughter got locked in the bathroom, and had to call someone to let her out. Ask me why they are locking the bathrooms during school hours? (good question) The phones are not the problem, following rules is the issue. If I have to not use my phone while at work, students need to learn there is a time and place for everything.
For those parents going on about "What if there's an emergency?" and the wudda wudda... Teach and instruct YOUR kids to be respectful and appreciative of school-learning time and the time of the instructor and not to use their cell phones unless there is an emergency. The teachers have MORE than enough on their plates than to compete with smartphones. Not a parent (who is parenting) will tolerate cell phone substitution when they are trying to deal with them at home.
What about parents and kids who have iPhones with screen time and comm limits setup? Parents are able to limit app and text use to certain times of day. Or maybe an android with similar capabilities. Parents don’t know how to do that? Well, google it or opt for the bag in school. But I pay for that phone, not the school, and I’ll decide where it will stay, which is my kid’s pocket. Until you can guarantee me no weapon can make it in the school, enough funding is available to have an armed police officer in every school, and a system in place where there can not be a way for staff to over look the fact that a person not authorized to pick up a child, will not happen, (which we all know these aren’t happening) then make the bag optional. At the end of the day, if the parent properly disciplined the child for not following staff instructions, we wouldn’t need for them to have the bag in the first place.
it looks like they can still press any outside buttons on the phones so at least have the kids learn that there is an emergency function you can use by pressing the buttons a certain number of times and it should contact authorities and I think also turn on location of the phone. It's used incase of kidnaps or emergency situations where the person can't clearly make a call.... that feature could help put some parents at ease to some extent. I'm pretty sure all smart phones have the feature but may need to be turned on
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 marlon you may not know but teachers are being inappropriate to children all the time, whether theyre been racist or violent. so many teachers fired thanks to kids having cellphones and recording the teachers. as far as notes, everyone takes pictures of things to remember as they were. also to use the focus on learning and not simply note taking.
Although I do agree that kids shouldn’t be on cell phones in school…it is helpful when kids need to record a bad teacher or record a violent situation between other students or record bullying. A lot of evidence has been recorded by students since they’ve had cell phones…evidence against teachers and schools.

Yea but there are also kids in pretty fun electives im in that also just cannot get off their phone. But also it entirely depends on the teacher, like teachers in classes I have, try to incorporate what they’re teaching and explain how you can use from what they taught you in the real world. Subjects like reading, math, history are still needed since well you don’t want to be totally clueless and also are important. It’s stuff you should know before going into the real world.

Parents can buy simple flip phones and only activate them enough to call 911.

There are still hundreds of phones in any given school. How do you think they called 911 before cell phones in schools?
The .0001 percent chance there's going to be a shooting doesn't justify the hundred percent chance most kids are getting a way shittier education because they're distracted with their phones.
The cost benefit analysis of having your phone in class doesn't support your view at all.
The benefit of having cell phones is way better than relying on a wired phone that may not work all of the time. Not every school has a phone that works when you really need it.

@@danielchou5895schools have had emergencies since they’ve been around: a cell phone may allow a student to reach out to their family to say they’re ok and give temporary relief, but 1) it certainly cannot guarantee their continued safety in the event of an emergency and 2) police are not at the mercy of kids with cell phones to know if a school is under attack- _the school_ would also be aware and will call the police (some even have panic buttons similar to banks making an actual ph call unnecessarily).
Either way, in an emergency like that, difficult as it would be, it’s a “wait and pray” situation no matter what - a cell isn’t going to magically transport our kids out of it.

Making sure everybody locks up there phone sounds like a huge waste of time especially if there are ways to get around it. Such as a burner phone being locked up while the real phone is kept in secret. 💡
@esils I teach 135 students in 6 classes. Enforcing cellphone rules from 8-3. Confiscating phones when rules are violated is a daily occurrence and an interruption of the learning process. You got to confiscate the phone, find someone to cover your class, take the phone to the office, and then call the parent. Sometimes the students behavior is egregious and they escalate matters because they argue or fight over phone. Phones are a more of a problem in the classroom than a benefit in case of emergencies. 8-3 every day put your phone up, stop texting, stop listening to music, turn your phone off, don't take calls from your parent or guardian. Every day. Locking the phones up at the start of the day is less stressful on all. And let's not forget the angry parents you deal with when you take the phone. Bullying, inappropriate pictures, inappropriate usage, cheating. Please tell me what harm does it cause to either leave the phone at home or lock it up at the start of the day. When parents tell me they tired of phone calls about a phone, I tell them there is a simple solution. Take the phone. You get calls because the child violates the rules. If the child can't respect the rules, take the phone. But nobody wants to take the phone away.

Decades before cells phones, when my kid was in a NM school with an active shooter, a phone would have allowed her to let us know she was ok. It would have saved us nearly 3 hours of terror not knowing if she was alive. Parents now have that line to their kids in an emergency.
You're talking about uvalde, the place where they did nothing for about an hour, even having the important information that you're so reluctantly defending. You're a dunce.
use a keyboard phone, cheaper, can text and call, honestly a good beginner phone for kids learning self control
@@monkeyundies2525 Great idea. With these pouches, though the phone itself is inaccessible altogether. I don't want kids distracted but my child is now nearly 40 and we STILL haven't figured out how to stop people from shooting up the school.
There are other types of phones that exist you know? This excuse doesn't fly.
If I ever have children, I would never introduce them to cellphones until they're old enough. My nephew is addicted to it, like a drug.
I am glad to hear this, I hope you mean at LEAST age 16. I see "Zombie" kids daily addicted. Should be child abuse.
@@tedhardulak7698 And I would put a limit on the time they use the computer. I would only allow them to play video games that would make them interested in learning something productive, like space flight simulation games or historical video games.
Despite growing up without cellphones. i dont agree in locking away their cellphones. I think THIS is the real solution.
I didn't allow beep beep ding ding electronic toys in my house. Tools make better toy for kids. They can learn to play as the learn to work. I have a picture of me with my first tool belt on one hip and a six-gun holster on my other hip. TOOLS make better toys that beep beep plastic crap.
@@punapeter I would give my children toys that would make them interested in learning, like rocket ships or dinosaurs.
can yall just accept the fact that technology if advancing and stop saying crap like "they need to learn the old way" we all grew up different, and kids today grew up with phones so we cant help it
Yea I agree it’s very annoying and a lot of older people are just stuck in the past
I don’t agree - yall can’t focus for 5 min
Actually you can. Frankly, minors shouldn't be allowed smartphones at all. A simple flip phone for calling only should be the only thing minors should have.
And ban all social media too
@@TimberlakeTigerGirlthat's because you don't want them to think any differently, just like school.

That's a great idea. Unless it's an emergency. I graduated in '81 and did fine without a phone.

If there is an emergency parents can always call the school. That how it was done in the past.
Every classroom has a landline. They will be alright.

Students doing poorly has nothing to do with the phones. Most teachers now aren’t qualified to teach. I grew up in a time that cell phones weren’t prevalent in school . But it’s modern and dangerous times where everyone should have access to their phone. It will be a lot of old one dimensional unintelligent people who will say the kids shouldn’t have it because they didn’t have it in their time, the truth is a lot of kids struggle because of parents like you that they have at home dinosaurs.
Do you have a study to back your claims? Look up Jonathan Haidt and see for yourself how phones are extremely dangerous to young teens. There is a reason why this generation is doing so bad in school, and it's not the teachers. Did it not cross your mind that many many teachers from the previous generation are the same as now? How come only this specific generation of teens be doing so bad?
@@will.7now look at how many teachers are pedos and do things to girls
If we didnt have a phone to take photos they will keep theyr job
Nope sometimes it is the phone. As a highschooler myself there are definitely kids distracted in class because of phones. I don’t think it requires a lock down on everyone’s phone but I think should be enforced on those type of kids only
If you’re so nervous about the welfare of your child buy them a life alert. Bye. These kids with phones are literally doing NONSENSE during the school day. It’s not academic. It’s social media nonsense.
If they are asking students to hand over their phones that is a really bad idea because their phone may up getting lost or stolen and that will only increase a student’s anxiety
The phones get locked up so I doubt they'll be stolen
Too bad there isn’t cubbies in each classroom to place them in. With school shootings being an issue, it’s nice to stay connected to your child when something so horrific happens. However, I completely understand why this is an issue of concern during class time. Double edge sword.
Yes I can confirm long ago pepole actually talked to one another it was a fascinating skill. Now a days that skill is long gone
Phones are important, but it is much more important to pay attention to the teachers
100%, kinda what schools are for
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Looks like we all totally forgot that part. @@punapeter
If I had to nitpick an issue, it’s that using free apps is better than forcing kids to buy scientific calculators; I remember those things costing like $80
I have a free Texas Instruments Solar one that still works from the 80s.
Try pen and paper like the rest of the world. They might then even be able to add and subtract when they graduate.
*For anyone who is concerned about this policy:*
1.) Having a phone is a privilege; not a right.
2.) Numerous studies have concluded that having 0 phones in classrooms increase attentiveness, grades and social wellbeing. Not to mention it decreases anxiety and depression overall.
3.) If a parent needs to get a hold of their kid, they can call the school, that student will be notified, and sent to the office to call them back.
4.) In an event of an emergency, the school will do everything (in their power) to keep the students safe. It is their job after all.
5.) The students can have their phones back after school. The classroom is where kids are supposed to focus and learn.
6.) If (God forbid) a teacher "behaves badly" in front of a student, that teacher will get notified by other students/faculty members, and the school will take action accordingly. No teacher wants a spotty record (regardless if the allegations are true or false). Plus, students have the ability to fill out anonymous feedback forms to critique their teacher's performance.
7.) For students with diabetes: There will be some exceptions if the conditions are that serious.
It sounds like the parents are having a hard time adjusting just as much as the students. I feel them tho. We survived back then. Now they get to have a piece of the past we miss and loved so much.
I understand this. Luckily I went to HS in the early 2000s. Just the beginning of kids having cell phones. The only thing is what about for emergency purposes?
The way the amount of school shootings has increased dramatically its better to have the phones.
If schools are gonna be strict on this they better be strict on weapons.
How much does it help emergency situations though? Teachers should be able to call emergency personnel and while as a parent it would be nice to connect to my child immediately after an issue I would rather them not have the ability for bullying to the level they can with phones
I keep seeing comments about "emergencies", but have yet to see someone describe and "emergency" that a cellphone would solve.
@@Solo-RoadCause most of those commenters are just kids trying to make up strawman arguments, when in reality they just want any justification to have their phone in their hands 24/7 "BuT BuT wHaT hApPeNs iF..."
It's good way to make students focus on their education at least while they're in the classroom.
In Korea, 99% of schools already did this back in 2012. They don't even carry the phone. Teachers take their phone into the bag, and give them back when the shool is finished.
But I don't think this is 100% bset solution for students. It's 90% best solution for school.
The real education begins afterschool. They are studying, learning at home.
What they need the most is someone should teach them not to addicted to phone all day. Dicipline by themseleves is more important.
Sounds like the parents job.
Last time I checked you didn’t buy it…
This is a violation of the students rights. No they don't have a right to be in their phones but they have a right to have the phone in them and to be able to use in an emergency. They also have a right to have it on their person or in their bag as long as it isn't disrupting school. Schools need to take a step back and check themselves. Their authority comes from the parents not the state.
Students have no rights at all. Have you not been paying attention to the number of laws passed making parents the sole decider on what their kids can or can't do?
Minors don't have rights, they have privileges. Privileges which can be revoked if the parents and school say so.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Your comment is absolutely ignorant, of course the have rights, and for the record the authority that school has over kids is given to them by the parents. In other words school answer to the parents.
This idea that schools have the authority to dictate whatever they want is asinine
@aubreygmcghee And obviously the parents are okay with this since they give the school the authority to confiscate phones. If the parents bought the phone and pay the bill, it's technically their property not the childs. Like I said, phones are a privilege which can be revoked by adult authority figures, schools and parents, whether the kids like it or not.
Deal with it.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl
Still its my phone
You cant have it
Children aren't dumb
They always find a method
Don’t your parents sign an agreement when signing you up for a school. You’re basically agreeing to the school’s rules so technically, although it may be wrong, it is perfectly allowed
These kids needa be in the “special” classes. Cus they parents failed them. They teenagers but talk and behave like grade schoolers. Its the culture i guess
I survived high school in the 80s without a phone. If there was an emergency mom's would simply call the school.
What happens when there's a school shooting? This isn't thought out much
Or if there's some other emergency that happens.
Do cellphones stop bullets? Asking for a dumb friend.
I immediately lose any sympathy for a parent when they use the excuse of "When there is an emergency..." kids went to school for decades without access to a phone for emergencies. Trust me, you can adapt. Call the office if it is a true emergency, don't sabotage your student's success by excusing access to a smartphone during class.
Yes, the emergency excuse is ridiculous. In our day parents had to call the front office and it was just fine. Should there be a school shooting there is absolutely nothing a parent can do over the phone. I currently work in a DAEP school and students aren't allowed to even bring cell phones in the building and it is great.
No, I won’t trust you
Nah. On at least that, I'm with the parents.
As a high school student, these pockets are ridiculous. Imagine you have an emergency, example as a girl if you start your period or bleed through your pants? I’m not walking out of that bathroom until I have a solution, generally through my friends or mom. I also think it should be up to the students if they want to learn or not. Don’t make someone work in school, they will suffer the consequences, not the teacher or school. My school has phone pockets to put your phone in. Only two teachers take attendance from it, the other two don’t care because we often use our phones in class to work on our assignments or turn things in, even listening to music. One teacher that takes attendance from the pouch lets you keep your phone if you are a week ahead, as it is a self paced course. I slacked off and got behind, but decided to change and get a week ahead. I got my phone during class, used it for music, texting and occasional scrolling. I’m now two weeks ahead because I can take breaks and think about my assignments more. To be exact I am now 13 days ahead including weekends, 9 school days ahead. If your class is boring kids aren’t going to want to pay attention. The school teaching system needs to be fixed, not the kids.
Let's just face it. We live in a world now where everyone has a cell phone. It's very addictive. I know I do it too. But go to school to learn. You got all day when you get home to play on your phones.
Face it? LOL NO "everyone" doesn't have those sucker's "Can you hear me Now/Personal tracking devices" (RFID chips) YOU paid for.

Schools do make exceptions for the cell phone ban if the student has a medical issue that needs monitoring.

Maybe instead of taking phones away from everyone they teach kids self controll and parents should learn how to set restrctions on their kids phones. If your not teaching them self controll, then you not doing them any favors when they become adults.

@@finchborat Well, you can call it garbage or a gimmick but that will be the way to go. This strategy has already shown improved concentration in classrooms and will definitely lead to improved performance in public schools.

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl it’s not the schools property either? what’s ur point
@etanoll4179 Schools can enforce their rules however they see fit. Only parents have the right to challenge rules if they see them as unfair. Students have absolutely no say in the matter. Especially with all the bills being passed, giving parents absolute authority over their children in every aspect.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl so say my parents are against it, what happens then?
@etanoll4179 Then they can take it up with the school. But it takes more than one complaint to change the rules. If the rule is put to a vote, and the majority of those on the school board and parents are in favor of the ban. Then your parents have no choice but to comply. They could threaten to sue, but I doubt that'll get far.
"tHeY weRE tEXtiNg iN cLAsS tIMe" ok but were they still learning?!

Were they still learning? No. I already know your follow up question, "How do you know?". I know because I understand how the human brain works. You are a child, it is the responsibility of adults to make some decisions for you. When you are older or have children of your own, you will understand.
lol didn’t get Snapchat till last year
I completely disagree with these schools to ban cell phones use I don’t think that it’s a good idea because what would happen if a school gets taken hostage by criminals and they they start killing innocent people like your own children. How would they call for help like say the police they can’t because it’s locked away. This is a terrible idea to me. You need to be able to use that cell phone but only for emergencies only like that example above.
You do realize schools have landlines right? They are pretty quick in calling 911 to get help before they are forced to cut the power in case of an electrical hazard.
I always had self-control over my phone when i was in school, not once have i took it out during classes. 😅
It's great that kids these days are finally paying attention, but what happens in a school shooting situation?
How many more people die because victims can't call for help?
I agree with this just to enforce discipline. BUT in reality, all information being taught in schools are available in a click away with smartphones. Calculus and Physics concepts are easier to grasp most of the time with youtube than actual classroom set ups.... This is why majority of the students are bored with slow, sometimes not straight to the point delivery of topics in a classroom. I mean financial literacy is not even taught in schools unless otherwise it is a course...
Financial literacy is not included in schools because students' parents should be teaching them the in's and outs of finances. 🙄 This isn't the first time I've heard a brainless sheep bring this up as a revolutionary idea. Yawn...
Financial literacy is included in a lot of schools but in some states it’s required for students to take that class to graduate high school
Classrooms are already archaic, the concept of sitting in a room of people who are either bored bc they already know the material or distracted bc they don’t understand it, school could be way more personally designed and engaged if utilizing online elements, any school who implements this will just end up with wasted money once the kids damage the cases or just bring an old phone
It's taught. You were on your phone.
@@Beautyaddixion not all schools have finacial lit. as far as being on the phone, have you seen how classes are built? that structure doesn't provide a good environment for the way the world is today. i see more teachers on phones than students.
I wish phones were unbanned in Montgomery public schools.
In the 90s as a kid, whenever there was an emergency, our parents would call the school or the student with any issues would have their parents called. If they’re so worried, give them a flip phone. My 10 year old nephew is hooked already on his phone. If I had a kid, I would try my best to not allow them to have one until they’re like 16.
This is borderline unconstitutional. People who pass these bills are so out of touch it pains me to know they share the same voting power
Real easy to pass these policies when you haven't been in school since Kennedy got killed.
this whole "pay attention" "obey my authority" "stop talking" "Im talking!!!" "you are dismissed when i say you are dismissed" goes to show that school is nothing more than a place for adults to release their pent of years of abuse to enforce their power over others. Bro why are schools still a thing? shouldnt professionals in the field of learning just make an app specially formulated to teach kids pre-k - 12th grade everything they need to know and give them fun things to do and if they dont want to learn anymore then just let them be. Why should learning be forced upon kids? Let the kids be kids. dont you know that the nerds will always be nerds and the jocks always be jocks and so on and so on. I for one love learning but over the years the level of anxiety and annoyance with learning has gotten on my nerves. i swear if i have to sit in another class and wait for the school year to be over just to do it again happens idk i might die of an anxiety attack. I love learning on my own but its not everyday and when i do ask questions and i go out seeking for answers im bound to get them from the internet but with its due time.

Kids have a better chance of being struck by lightening and being involved in a serious car accident. Sounds we just need to lock kids up in cages to keep them safe from everything.
Glad my school is not doing it but is being more stict on it
This sort of collective punishment just makes kids resent their administrators. I could get behind a policy against using phones during class. If enforced, it would achieve the same results without violating the individual freedoms of those who are doing no wrong. But let’s be honest, kids aren’t given rights- especially in a state like Alabama where corporal punishment is still commonplace into high school.
I think the pouches could be a policy for repeat offenders.

@@joeyweston2522Bingo! But, you're making it sound like a prison...goodness😔
While I do not disagree with the idea of keeping students on topic, it does raise my concern that should someone have a medical emergency or need their phone for certain things; they would not have the means to access assistance via cellular devices which may be used to communicate with parents in the event a child needs to talk to their parents over a non school owned/issued device which would hinder their education in an environment where most of the work is online and paper tests are seldom used in this day and age. Further more, it would be rather pointless to have an environment where the student is forced to either smuggle their own belongings in or face leaving it in a location where they are unable to ensure the safety of the device where the school may have an it department that possesses the capabilities to remotely access or unlock the private device through third party software or hardware in which it would be violating the student's right to privacy
Any school that doesn't require cell phones to be locked up needs new leadership.

There should be some exceptions to lock away cellphones. The main one is that the person has been ordered not to put the cellphone in a lock-away pouch because of a physically disabled or medical condition. In this case, the nature of the disability or condition must be certified by a licensed physician, surgeon, or chiropractor, and the reason why the inappropriate use of putting a phone in a lock-away pouch must be addressed. The certification must be in the person's possession.
I can get a teacher taken away everyone's phone during a test but if a school shooting happens, how will the students be able to access their phone to contact emergency authority or someone close to them I'm just saying this has a huge flaw.

Our high school tried to do this, but it cause some issues. My granddaughter got locked in the bathroom, and had to call someone to let her out. Ask me why they are locking the bathrooms during school hours? (good question) The phones are not the problem, following rules is the issue. If I have to not use my phone while at work, students need to learn there is a time and place for everything.
It can make gun violence/ even worse and there will be more school shootings. Look what happened in Uvalde Texas last year.
horrible idea y’all dtm
For those parents going on about "What if there's an emergency?" and the wudda wudda... Teach and instruct YOUR kids to be respectful and appreciative of school-learning time and the time of the instructor and not to use their cell phones unless there is an emergency.
The teachers have MORE than enough on their plates than to compete with smartphones. Not a parent (who is parenting) will tolerate cell phone substitution when they are trying to deal with them at home.
......
There already is a dire emergency, their kids are turning in to idiots!
Now what happens if too many parents leave too many messages with the main office too many times? Messages about appointments & pickups can add up.
Mmhm
What about parents and kids who have iPhones with screen time and comm limits setup? Parents are able to limit app and text use to certain times of day. Or maybe an android with similar capabilities.
Parents don’t know how to do that? Well, google it or opt for the bag in school. But I pay for that phone, not the school, and I’ll decide where it will stay, which is my kid’s pocket.
Until you can guarantee me no weapon can make it in the school, enough funding is available to have an armed police officer in every school, and a system in place where there can not be a way for staff to over look the fact that a person not authorized to pick up a child, will not happen, (which we all know these aren’t happening) then make the bag optional.
At the end of the day, if the parent properly disciplined the child for not following staff instructions, we wouldn’t need for them to have the bag in the first place.
They are making a bad mistake…
The problem with not having a cellphone is you can't make an emergency call because there is no payphone. This is why we need cellphones.
it looks like they can still press any outside buttons on the phones so at least have the kids learn that there is an emergency function you can use by pressing the buttons a certain number of times and it should contact authorities and I think also turn on location of the phone. It's used incase of kidnaps or emergency situations where the person can't clearly make a call.... that feature could help put some parents at ease to some extent. I'm pretty sure all smart phones have the feature but may need to be turned on
I don't agree. Just don't over do it and you should be fine. I would want my child to have their phone with them in case of an emergency
