Major district votes to ban student cellphone use during school | LiveNOW from FOX 

No, you don’t make the companies responsible you make the parents responsible for what they allow their children to watch. It’s called parental control. I’m sorry make the parents become parents again instead of trying to be their friends.

NOW we will see how addicted to them they are!

Good luck with that. Students will literally throw tantrums and beat up teachers over their phone they don't know how to go without it.

We need to prepare the students for the real world. I work for a grocery retailer and we have a cell phone usage policy while our store employees are clocked in. Any violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

My high school, which was a STEM school in Pittsburgh, banned cell phone use during the entire school day, even at lunch, but you could still carry them on yourself throughout the day until last school year. When the school announced that it would be requiring students to put their phones in a locker upon checking into the school every morning not even a week before last school year started, there was fierce backlash on Facebook against the school among both students and parents because despite having some of the most intelligent students in the district, the rate of disciplinary referrals and suspensions that students are required to report on their college applications was significantly higher than other high schools in the district because of how strict the administration was. While I understand that social media culture is toxic for mental health and has spilled over to unruly and dangerous public behavior at times, schools are banning cell phones also to make it less likely that content is documented credibly by students that could affect the PR of the school or district.

The punishment should be: You get put in ISS for the day without the possibility of making up any assignments for that day.

Good!

All of the Pros and Cons of what's being proposed, and the possible results. Do the Pros overweigh the Cons or if even think about the long term affects and results the same way when the decision was made in allowing ages 18 and under to have cell phones during school hours.

No, you don’t make the companies responsible you make the parents responsible for what they allow their children to watch. It’s called parental control. I’m sorry make the parents become parents again instead of trying to be their friends. You don’t ask the students because they are again kids. And you don’t again make the companies responsible. It’s like making a game company responsible for the games. Make parents become parents again keeping it out of the school is 100% the right way.

And if there is an emergency situation at the school and there is a threat to their lives, they will not be able to call you ? one more moment that will be in work on all USA or start will be in some state?

LAUSD ? California? What a bungle jungle!

Yeah now they can't film evidence of what they are being taught. Think about that

Warning!! Do not, by any means, allow a school district to ban your child’s ability to communicate or document what is happening at school. If you agree, you are essentially taking away your child’s ability to hold people accountable. Ask yourself, in the event your child is being mistreated, mishandled, or being taught/told something outside of the authorized curriculum/communication, how will your child be able to seek justice?
