This. Put the responsibility where it belongs, folks.[/quote]

Its the other kids parents.

I agree though.  The punishment for using a phone in class should be the parents must come to school in person at end of week to pick it up.  That will motivate parents to discipline their kids to not use phones in class.[/quote]

Am I supposed to somehow monitor my kid speaking out of turn in class, too? I'm very confident that kids will break rules or not follow parents' instructions when not in their presence; and that most kids are probably told by their parents not to use their phones in class. Just like breaking any other rule, I expect my kid to receive discipline/correction at school for infractions at school when they happen. If it warrants parental notification, then I'll deal with that at home as a parent. Lots of parents have rules about clothing .... which some kids then don't follow while at school. That's somehow the parent's fault?[/quote]

You bought their clothes, and you bought their phone. So it's your responsibility on what they should possess of these in the end. If your kid can't manage simple things like shutting their mouth or sitting still in class on a daily basis, perhaps they shouldn't be there because those are as much a distraction as the phone. Stop making excuses.[/quote]
