[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most teachers are surprisingly lax about it but occasionally there will be the one teacher who will send kids to the principal's office for 10 seconds of phone use.

They should just allow them before and after class and at the discretion of individual teachers during class during downtime if there is any.[/quote]

Teachers are lax because it's not worth the headache of enforcing and unenforceable policy.  That one teacher that does enforce it, will have to fill out multiple pieces of paperwork only to have nothing happen to the student and they are right back using their phone in class the next day.  The only way to fix this is through a black and white policy.  NO CELL PHONES IN SCHOOL.  Anything else that creates grey area doesn't work.  [/quote]

You also have to hold the other "fun" teachers who encourage kids to use phones in their classroom as a way of currying favor and approval from their students as part of the problem as well.

I had several blowout fights with my DS about this as I told him he needed to not use the phones in class, but he would balk because several teachers insisted and told him it was ok to do so. And then the one teacher who didn't get on board with that was seen as "mean."[/quote]
