[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.   At our high school cell phone use is allowed before school and at lunch.

Students flaunt that rule and walk into the classroom pecking away at their phones.  Girls are worse than boys, I usually have to ask twice for kids to put away their phones.

As the other teacher stated it's a pain to try to take a phone away.  The options are to write up a referral to the assistant principal or to call security.  I have never received any feedback for any of the referrals that I have written so probably nothing happens.

Students are experts at typing under the desk.  They can text to kids in other classrooms and right in the same class.  Last year I had an incident where a kid texted his sibling in college for an answer on a test. Now during tests and exams all cell phones are left on my desk.  If I have one less phone than student then the exam does not start.

Those naive parents who think that their darling kid needs to have a cell phone attached to them 16 hours a day should spend a day in my classroom.[/quote]
