[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only incumbent I have concerns with is Tysse. Lovely person, but has really fought against getting cell phone use under control in the high school. Apparently she believes kids need access to their phones more frequently and parents ought to be able to reach their kids during the school day.

I am of the mind they should be taken away the entire day and not allowed to be used at all, even during lunch and "Mustang Block."[/quote]

If she is running on that, please vote for her.  Leave it to the teachers how we handle cell phone use in our classroom.  I do not approve of the current system, where we are mandated to take the kid’s phone and put it in a designated pocket.  We do not need the same policy for a kid coming over from the middle school and a senior.  Leave classroom behavior management to the teachers.  -HS teacher. [/quote]

But there are so many teachers who don't take them away during class. Kids use them to cheat ALL THE TIME. No one is paying attention when they keep getting snapchat notifications in their pocket all during class. They really should be required to be checked in at the beginning of the day and received back. at the end of the day (the same way middle schoolers check their computers in and out, frankly). And if a teacher sees one, it's confiscated.
