Parents piss and moan when their kids are disciplined now by having their phones taken and refuse to believe their kids are anything but precious angels

At the end of the day the schools authority only reaches as far as the parent and if the parent refuses to punish their child then theres nothing the school can do. How does the pouch stop a parent from bitching?

Basically it's saying that phones are not allowed. If you want your kid to have their phone on them, it has to be in the pouch. If they are on a phone, they are then breaking multiple rules, which elevates the issue. It also communicates the seriousness of the issue to caregivers.

Except these kids are already breaking rules and parents respond by bitching at the school for punishing their child. If the caregiver doesnt care then there is nothing the school can really do to punish the kid
