[quote=Anonymous]OP here the reality is that kids don't put their phones away. Then they lie to their parents about it. To the parent that asked what you can do? 
If your child's teacher reaches out to tell you that your child's phone use is a problem please believe them. I have no reason to lie about your child's phone use. 
Kids know that the phones are supposed to be put away and silent but many classes are disrupted by notifications of some sort. 
We have way too many "emergencies". Parents always seem to have an excuse why their kid needs an exception. 
Again private schools have taken a hardline on this and Parents don't seem to push back nearly as much. Too many parents think that public school means that they get to do whatever they want.
County school boards also need to provide expectations to parents in the school district. Teachers are given very little support and we are expected to be the enforcers. 
As I said in previous post I had a parent threaten me over their child's phone use. It's simply not worth it for me to get hurt trying to enforce a rule.
Thanks to the parents that try to work with us. I appreciate it when parents work with me as a partner in their child's education. [/quote]
