[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have students with ear buds in their ears during class even though it is against the rules. I can remind them this but I cannot physically touch them or touch their phone/ear buds. I text an admin every single time this happens so they can do it but 90% of the time, they don’t come. Lots of big fires to be put out. I document what happened and call/email the parent after two reminders. I rarely hear from them ever. Sometimes they say it is my problem when their kid is at school.

Some of ds's teachers have baskets or bins for phones.  Phones are turned off and put in there at the start of class.

One teacher built shelves to hold the phones.[/quote]

Yes but you can’t force students to do this. A lot of students simply refuse. Admin doesn’t back teachers up. Parents don’t back teachers up. What do you want the teacher to do? Wrestle the student to the ground and wrench the phone from their hands? Ha ha.

You people really don’t understand what it’s like working in a school (especially a school w a lot of disadvantaged students who have difficult home lives and behavior issues). Like another poster said: teachers have all the responsibility but none of the authority.
