[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cell phones are supposed to be banned except for lunch. Granted, I know it's hard for a teacher to catch everything, but shouldn't they be able to catch a few?

I say this because in my child's math class, a student brought their phone out. The teacher saw, walked up and took the test right off the desk. [b]Then the teacher said anyone else who was caught with a phone wouldn't just fail the test but the entire quarter.

Threats like that can minimize cheating, I would think.[/quote]

I'm a teacher at a competitive HS. There is zero percent chance that the administration (or regional admin) would allow a teacher to do this. There is a 99.999 percent chance that if a teacher did this, the student's parents would take it to admin.[/quote]

Yep. And every parent knows that empty threats are worse than saying nothing. Might get away with docking points on the test but no way the teacher would be allowed to fail them for the term. [/quote]
