My daughter is going on a school trip out of the country for six weeks

next year. Found out today, the teacher/chaperone will be holding all of their cell phones for the duration of the trip.

The point of this trip is to meet new people, see new things, and have experiences that will shape the rest of your life. If the kids are doing nothing but fiddling on their cell phones the whole time, they will miss it.
