[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher contacted the parent three times and said the phone was a problem. What do parents want? Smoke signals? A certified letter? The Pony Express?[/quote]

The teacher could say, “I would suggest not bringing the phone to school.”

If I see someone with high blood pressure who isn’t taking their meds, then I tell them to take their meds.  If I see someone with an alcoholic cirrhosis, then I tell them to stop drinking, give them a list of rehabs and a prescription for Naltrexone.

I do have colleagues who just expect people to connect the dots and make fun of them when they don’t.  I think it’s kind of a defense behind feeling impotent and useless when people don’t follow your advice.  
It sounds like this is where most if not all teachers are.  It’s frustrating, but I get it.

This is the lamest thing ever. Teacher calls “your kid has a problem with his phone at school.”

Parent: I have zero clue what to do about this problem.

Or, in the instance, parent: I know my kid has a disruptive problem with his phone but i’m not going to do anything about it because there could be a school shooting and somehow a phone would make a difference in that scenario.

So, the parent in this scenario has decided to do nothing. Regardless of what the teacher might say.[/quote]
