[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public school teacher here, based on the responses on the other thread I dont think parents realize how much of a phone problem we have. Kids refuse to put their phones away, it's a major distraction. Parents like to talk about classroom management but teachers are no longer allowed to hand out real consequences. Private schools work because the rules are enforceable! 
The last two years have been rough on us teachers! I cope by no longer caring. It's sad but true. If your kid doesn't learn that's on them.
If parents want to help they need to keep phones out of classrooms! [/quote]

I guess that's probably why our MCPS school doesn't allow them the classroom. They confiscate them if students don't comply so we don't have these problems.[/quote]

This needs to be the MCPS-wide policy.[/quote]

I would be in total support of the MCPS policy allowing teachers to confiscate phones if they are disrupting class. First strike, kid can get it at the end of the day. Second strike, parents have to pick it up. Third strike, parents again have to pick it up and student and parent waive the right to bring it to school if it happens again. I’m probably in the minority though.[/quote]
