[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS parent - like everything else, it is wildly inconsistent.  My son reports that some teachers don’t care and kids freely use them all through class.

He says most don’t care if they see it quickly if kids are sending a text but it’s not out in class.

He has one teacher who sends us an email and copies the principal and counselor every time she sees the phone at all, even if it’s at the beginning of class before the bell.  She quotes the policy and says how they are not allowed.  [/quote]

I shut the kids down at first, but after 2-3 months of saying the  same things to the same kids every class, getting pushback from parents and crickets from admin— except when one yelled at me for trying to do a referral last block the day before a 3-day weekend— I gave up, because trying to shit it down was a bigger distraction to the class than the phone usage was.

If that kid won’t take out his AirPods to pay attention, and nobody at home or the office backs me up, y’all can figure it out together when he fails. I have 27 other kids in that room to worry about. [/quote]
