Yeah that's not what is happening.
How much pushback is coming from actual parents of kids that attend the school, versus loud mouths on the internet that have no dog in the fight?

How much of the praise for the policy is from parents of kids at the school, either?
Nobody on this thread, including the people on this thread who are praising the policy, has said they actually have kids at the school.

I'm just baffled that this is such a problem at even good private schools that they have to do this
My daughter is 13 and going into 8th grade
None of her friends have smartphones or social media accounts

This is unenforceable. Good luck, Vermilion Parish.

They don’t have time. They’re spending all of it on social media.

If you would’ve read the thread you would see that there are at least 2 people in here with similar policies at their school

Without rampant snitching, how would the school monitor all of these platforms?

praising the law
Reading the replies to this thread it makes me think either we have a bunch of parents who don't want to actually parent and do what is best for their kids, or a bunch of pedos who are upset these policies would reduce their pool of victims.

I’m not sure what led to it. My kid is only going to kindergarten next year. Most of the parents that I know have kids in 3rd grade or younger, so it’s not really a problem for any of their kids, but they are all grateful that it won’t be a bridge that we have to cross later.

online bullying, no doubt

Oh, I would bet there is going to be rampant snitching
I don’t think the school is going to go about researching every student in every social media platform. They are going to rely on honest parents, and snitching students. The consequences are severe enough that I don’t think any parents would knowingly let their kid break the rule.

I rule that can’t be enforced is not a rule. I do like the theory and motivation behind it.

I just don't like a system that is built on snitching on each other

It's just going to cause students to create accounts that are under a fake name. Actually, a lot of websites (including Tigerdroppings) have people post under a pseudonym. I guess that they'll now also use fake names on websites like Instagram where you're expected to use your real name.
Now, you could argue either way about whether it's better or worse to have anonymous accounts or accounts that have a real name attached. The anonymous accounts are unlikely to hurt them in a job hunt in future years, unless the potential employer somehow figures out who the anonymous account belongs to. However, the anonymous accounts will also be harder for parents to monitor, especially since they might hide the very existence of the anonymous accounts from their parents.

I think the first time someone gets caught, it’s going to cause a chain reaction and probably clear out the problem.
First time getting caught is in school suspension and no extracurriculars for the remainder of the quarter.
Second time is 1 day suspension and no extracurriculars for the rest of the school year.
Third is 3 day suspension, no extracurriculars for the remainder of the school year and you’re put on probation.
And it doesn’t reset every year.

I don't know what the people who "have no dog in the fight" are saying.
I would expect that this will be quietly walked back, or just not enforced at all though.

It is not even a problem at the school in this case. Its a priest, who has an anti social media agenda. And I don't even disagree with the majority of his issues with social media, specifically younger kids being on it.

Do you think parents are going to send their kids to Abbeville high over this?

I agree but we are now getting to a point in time where the parents are just as into social media as their kids. It just needs to be banned for everyone period.
That shite is destroying society. It’s no coincidence the world got crazier at the same time social media was taking off.
