So do smart watches work through the pouch? We’re part of the problem because our kids’ athletic coaches send messages during the day as to where and when practice is due for weather. So we send messages to them to make sure they get on the right bus. So we gave them smart watches to keep from having to check their phone.
Smart watches were just becoming common last year, since I retired, I do not know if they came up with a way to deal with them. The kids will always try to come up with a way to keep doing what they were doing. Why could the coach just not call the school and have them make an announcement of where practice would be held?
Technology is always going to be a problem in schools, you are never going to eliminate it, but with the pouches we did get rid of phones going off in the middle of the class. I suppose if smart phones become a problem, you would tell the kids to put it in their bag, and then the message would be there for them to read after class.
