[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not arguing for use in class but I can at least see that a phone is also a calculator. That could be an appropriate tool. I do not envy teachers dealing with this though! I can limit my kids usage so they still have it to communicate with me as needed (e.g. transportation, activities).[/quote]

We have class sets of calculators, phones are unnecessary in that regard.[/quote]

And I'd rather buy my kid (and anyone elses') a $6 calculator from amazon than use it as an excuse for kids to be on their phones during class time. [/quote]

New poster. In high school at least, some classes have the kids use phones for instructional quizzes and games. I've seen the quizzes and games and the content was useful as far as I could tell. I say that because people will come here to complain about how teachers shouldn't use phones in this way, but the reality is, some do. And kids share phones for these things if they don't have their own. I don't know if overall it's good or bad, but it is reality. [/quote]
