Yeah, unfortunately telling 17 year olds that you're going to lock their phones in a cupboard for 7 hours doesn't quite fly. Maybe actually a S1-S3 / S4-6 split in rules might work in secondaries.
I was talking to a P7 teacher and she was saying that, ahead of moving up, the thing they all talk about looking forward to is having access to their phone all day.
I sometimes question whether I belong in this world. This is one of those times.

I can't wait to learn of the outcome of Darvel's rigorous and thorough internal investigation.
Imagine being as bleating as that in an official club post. Take a few minutes to look at what you've written before sending it.

I think Loch Park's a decent place to watch football. Decent raised terrace, esp on one side, seating, good food outlet, bar inside ground. Think you're being harsh on your old girl.
Could be wrong but sure they were referring to Gartcairn there.

the absolute state of this from Darvel in response to a fan questioning the lack of disabled facilities.
Out of the goodness of their heart they allowed the local ice cream man to turn a coin. A club to be proud of.

His own club by virtually everyone’s opinion on here is a joke yet he’s going to be chair of the league.

Yay.
I never do.
I have good dish towels thankfully.
They might be good but you still have to wash them sometimes.

Very unlucky on Friday night , I thought we played well & probably the better team, first leg cost us though. Anyway league games coming thick and fast - game on Wed night at home to Gartcairn. I honestly think Beith have won the league but u never know?
You need to have a good hard look at yourself for saying stuff like that!

Take it they dont do this in Milano?
Marching? Or opening bottle with their doo-dahs?
Not this type of march but they love a "manifestazione" for any possible reason. I'm all for it, especially as it's always peaceful.

Ours is a smaller school (one form entry). Students hand their phone in to the HT at the start of the day and she gives them out at exit. Everyone complies with it, I suspect because we imposed it at the start of a school year. In your case where it's a rule change, I imagine there will be some pain at the start but that's the same whatever new rule is imposed.
In my previous school they did what you're trying to do except said parents had to come in before the phone was handed back. The first Friday that it happened and students realised that they would have to leave their phone in school, was utter carnage. There were actual tears from 18 yr old boys and girls and some even tried to barge teachers out of the way to get to their phone. Teachers then started arguing with each other about the fairness of the whole thing. Eventually the LT stepped in and gave them all back. A complete sh**show. Good luck.
Another big one is ipads and smart watches with messages coming through them. It's such a grey area.

Only a difference of opinion surely there’s no need for insults I’d rather take it a game at a time a lot can happen yet and the same people on here giving us the title just now will be the same ones on slagging us off if we don’t win it, I much prefer staying quiet until it’s over I know that’s maybe not your way and if you were in our position you’d be proclaiming Auchinleck league winners having blown a league in recent years I thought you’d appreciate the caution.
Insults? You do know this is a football forum, don't you? If you really wanted to stay quiet you would, instead of getting all upset that supporters of other teams are saying you're the best team. Its very strange behaviour.

Bums on seats or you don't deserve an opinion ...........
According to who? Stop thinking about my bum.
When I'm there, I'm at the game and even if I wasn't, I am still saying Beith will win the league. Not sure why Beith fans are so annoyed about that.

Off the 5 teams we’ve still to play we have only beaten 2 of them, concentrate on your own team and stop trying to deflect everything on to Beith , I’d say if Auchinleck win all their games then the league is there’s 63 points more than wins it this season
What is this deflection nonsense? Everyone, me included is saying that Beith will win the league. That's based on the fact that you're well in front. Just take the compliments Beith fans ya bunch of rockets!

Probably best not to even waste your breathe on him to be honest, thinks he rules this place and doesn't even attend his own teams games
I shall await his usual insults though ....
How can he waste his breath (not breathe) on me. Surely typing energy or something.
It's a shame for you Hertha...and you being always so nice to me as well.

Think you should check your facts before you post something like that. How are we in form? We have only won 3 of our last 6 games. 3 of the 5 games we have left to play are against teams we have already failed to beat this season. We have a good chance to win the league IF (and it’s a big IF) we win our 5 remaining games. But as usual we will take each game as it comes and give our opponents the respect they deserve and every game is a cup final for us if we want to retain the league.

Burgh so lacklustre in my opinion. Arthurlie better all over the park. Small brought on by Burgh with 10/15 to go to get an equaliser & put out wide ? An out & out goalscorer out wide didn’t make sense to me. Thought Burghs goal was offside but in the end didn’t matter. Great atmosphere & crowd. Bolger , Kerr , Dykes & Docherty stand outs for Arthurlie. Would love to see them win it but can’t see past Darvel.
Sounds like McKinnon coming in has had the desired effect.
