[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope the teachers and staff also follow the ban and set a good example. [/quote] It’s a bit more complicated for teachers. We don’t have classroom phones at my school and most of us aren’t issued a walkie. Our intercom system has gaped. The quickest way to get ahold of a floating staff member is by text. If a kid pukes in my classroom, I’m texting building services to come clean it up, not sending an email in the hopes they are at a computer in the next 10 min. We also use our phones for a variety of administrative tasks ranging from email to scanning work samples for quarterly reports. [/quote] If its an emergency, its ok but you shouldn't be doing those admin tasks during class time which is the point. Don't give kids busy work while they see you on your phone. Email can be done from the computers. If you do your email or take pictures for work, why shouldn't the kids.[/quote]
