Well, for one, I am not sure we will be allowed or able (because I need to be on camera for the DL folks) to walk amongst the students checking for covert use of cell phones.  [/b]

I, actually, appreciate threads which address these considerations, BTW.  People shouldn’t jump to the conclusion that it is a teacher trying to get schools closed.  Forewarned means forearmed and all that.[/quote]

Are you at one of those schools where you can't have a cell phone check-in at the start of class? I only have primary kids, but I know HS teachers who use them. I also know some schools don't allow them.[/quote]

I am not allowed to take up cell phones.  I am pretty sure I would no be able to search their bags.  I would really like to set up a shoe rack wall where kids could place their cell phones for the duration og class, but was told I couldn’t do that for liability reasons.  Sigh.[/quote]

I’m not either. I’ll ask them to put it away but if your 17 and 18 yo seniors refuse I’m not going to get in a battle with them. Sure, some have multiple tabs open if we are using laptops. Last year they were more likely to show it to me because it was funny or interesting when caught than close the tab quickly. I’m worried about a lot but kids wasting time on YouTube isn’t a concern. Some will and some won’t, just like before.  [/quote]
