[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stories like these make me mad. Not being defensive as my kids have never gotten in trouble due to this, but why are all teachers not having students put phone on a table up front when they get into class? It is like baiting kids to be distracted when taking the phones away removes the distraction. I have zero patience for helpless teachers like these not implementing a simple solution. [/quote]

Because kids steal each other's phones, or they get burner phones and keep theirs, or parents have a fit about kids not having their phones, or administration tells you it's not allowed because they are afraid of parents.  [/quote]

This.

Thanks for criticizing teachers yet again when this is the students fault. I teach middle school and somehow my sixth graders are able to keep their phones away (or they get taken- school policy) yet this 16 year old can’t seem to manage.

OP, your son doesn’t need to bring his phone to school. If he needs to be reachable for sports or after school stuff, get him a non-smart phone. Not sure what the school policy on phones is, at my school we take it if we see it out, give it back end of period. If more than once, it’s to the dean and parents have to come pick it up. This has mostly eliminated issues. [/quote]
