That's what I said - ask them to put it away, pull them out of the class, but don't touch the phone.

Honestly, it sounds like you're just fishing for reasons to ban phones because you personally don't like them and are unable to respect students as people. Not sure what you mean a…

Isn't it more expensive to have many people poll frequently?

I'm right in the middle of Europe. Why not bring it in? I don't understand why they should behave as if they lived in 19th century. They're people living in 21st century, making fu…

I'm not sure what you mean, it's clearly true where I live.

There doesn't need to be any advantage. They're not causing any disruptions - nobody should be telling them where to put their property. A phone contains private photos and convers…

A phone contains private photos, conversations, has authorized access to email, chat and social media accounts, it's a second authentication factor, it has payment cards, saved pas…

Try SwiftKey... Not the same but I can do it without looking that much - and one-handed.

You said that if there is a legitimate need they can call the school office or have the office call the parents - so I'd expect the office to handle it. For myself it was mostly th…

As a student (over a decade ago) I had hundreds - maybe even thousands over the 13 years of education, actually - of phone calls with my parents, siblings, grandparents, uncle, fri…

It's a worldwide thing. I'm in a country neighboring Germany and it's perfectly normal that everybody has a smartphone. The schools have policies that it has to be turned off but t…

Yeah, but you didn't know that when you wrote that comment.

I'm choosing cars that predate the technology based on availability of aftermarket CarPlay module.

You have no idea what site is it. Perhaps it's an interactive game or a questionnaire. POSTing that data to a server is much worse than running some clientside code. Your post is n…

But that's missing the point again! If you do that, you will never reach the release with your perfect app because you wasted that time and effort on making an unusable mockup and …
