[quote=Anonymous]I am a high school teacher and our principal was specifically told by Gatehouse that we cannot take away a student's cell phone, which effectively makes it impossible to enforce a cell phone ban. It is not complicated - the schools should enforce the ban on cell phones and if a student has one out it should be confiscated (with exceptions for medical reasons, etc.). I am certain parents have no idea how bad it is in schools. I tried so hard all year to police cell phones and ear buds, but the second I stopped being vigilant or even turned my back, all the phones and earbuds came right back out. I feel sorry for my students because some of them just truly are addicted and are missing out on so much of life because they are glued to a screen. They NEED the consequences to break the addiction. As adults we have to do better for these kids. [/quote]
