[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like you need to get your classroom under control.  You tell kids when snack time is.  Done.
You teach vs. dump kids on chromebooks.
You tell them this is the consequence if you don't get bathroom permission and have a pass or sign out sheet.
As a teacher, you need to set expectations and be consistent.[/quote]

I am not a classroom teacher and I see these things in many classrooms. Teachers do have good classroom management.

When the teacher gives clear expectations of snack time/food in the classroom all the kids need to do is go home, say "Ms. so and so wouldn't let me eat my snack." Parent emails angry. (kid knows they will do this). Admin asks "why wouldn't you let Ella have her snack?" She needs it to (pick your reason) calm her down/because of her medicine/in order to better concentrate. After that happens multiple times it becomes discouraging to enforce a rule that the kids can easily undermine and they know it.

In upper grades, kids complete many writing assignments on the Chrome book. Take the Chrome book away? Well, then what about all the kids that are required or desire to have speech-to-text/need access to their technology tools?

It's endless. I'm pretty sure you've never been in a classroom. [/quote]
