My daughter's school had a no phone policy. I completely understood it in lesson times but I don't understand why they couldn't use their phones at break times. Especially when I would call the school to ask them to let her know i was picking her up and not to get on the school bus, and they would say "have you tried calling/texting her?" Er, no, because by your rules she can't use her phone otherwise I wouldn't need you to pass the message on! 😒

It is insanely depressing to walk through the halls of a school and every kid is staring down at their phone.

I loved that at my kids’ middle school they were not allowed to used phones during lunch….you’d see kids playing card games etc

I'm shocked your schools allowed cards. Ours forbid them.
