    My kid’s school banned phones not just in class but in school completely. Since one of the main reasons my daughter has a phone is so she can be in contact on her way to and for school, leaving the phone at home defeats the purpose. So I told her to ignore the rule. She just keeps it in her backpack all day, but banning phones across the board is such a lazy solution, and it punishes the entire school

      When I was in school that was the rule. Phones were “banned” as in you can’t use them but we all had our phone in our pocket for when we were outside the school

      Yeah! Plus some kids commute pretty far to extracurriculars right after school, and they need to stay in contact even more.

      Seems like a good compromise. The idea of the rule is probably just so they won’t have them out anyway.
