It is addicting and causing girls to start clicks and be mean. My daughter has been depressed because of it

I wholehearted support this policy change. Research shows that phones and other devices not strictly being used for educational purposes undermines social development and is a distraction in the educational setting.

Kids should not be able to use electronics during the day.

Suggest a possible reword that calls out needs to call or text family for emergencies or whatever might be a must. While I agree with the need to reduce electronic face time a balanced middle ground might be an option more will understand and agree to.

I’m in favor of limiting computer usage. However, I’m torn when it comes to the phones. In case of an emergency such as Stoneman Douglas, it’s important for the students to have access to their cellphones. Of course we hope there is never a situation like this where it would be necessary, but unfortunately in today’s times we do need to take that into consideration.

I also hope everyone gets trained and uses the same interface of school approved technology.

I agree 110%! I don’t know how the teachers can teach and monitor computer use at the same time. I know that this is been an issue especially in the case of permitting kids to listen to music on their headphones during class. It’s a complete distraction having them constantly change the music station when they should be doing the work or listening to the teacher. If music is to be played, the teacher can play classical music on low for the whole class like they did in Montessori school LOL.
