I get it

But… as a teacher in a high school Yondr pouches would be so awesome (or just having a school district that mandates zero phone use in school but that’s hard I guess)

I feel like no phones is good unless they have a medically condition and need the phone. Like diabetes if they have a dexcom they should be allowed to have the phone with them

No, most public schools demand certain authorized doctors that charge 1000 USD assessment fees and kick back to person making this policy decision, or you get no help.

Depends on the school or location. My small school let a girl on my volleyball team have her phone for a dexcom, but she didn't need a note they just talked to her mom about everything.
