“leading students to launch a petition in protest.”

I’m sure they did it all on their own with no help from the activist teachers.

They won’t let prisons use them, so I doubt they’d let schools.

Sure but how do they get them unlocked on days they play hooky? :D

They're talking about putting them in lockers in the schools when they arrive.

If they play hooky, then they're not surrendering their phones to the school.

Rather than nominating your post for the stupidist of the year, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you just didn't understand what the school was doing.

So, I dig out my old dead phone and lock it up for the administration while my current phone stays in my pocket.

Great policy. I recall driving past an elementary school and the kids were leaning on a fence during recess, texting each other instead of recreating, playing games.

Rather than nominate your reply for dumbest of the year how about educate yourself?

No they don’t surrender the phone. They place them in a pouch and lock it and give it back to you. You need a school official to open the pouch to get your phone out again and turn in the pouch. So if you skip out of school early your phone is not available to you.

“the policy would mean that students must turn off their phones and place them in a Yondr pouch upon entering the school building. They then lock the pouch using a special magnet. Throughout the day, students carry their devices but cannot access them until the pouch is unlocked at the end of the school day, or when students leave the building for an early dismissal.”

Either, or, it doesn't matter. The access to the phone is surrendered upon entering the school and returned upon exit.......

Whatever interpretation you desire, the facts are that the kids do not need access to their phones while in school.......Sheesh!
