High school students will be allowed to have “brief” access to their phones in designated areas during non-instructional time, most likely around lunchtime." No mention of penalties for students, and [b]admin/teachers[/b] who do not follow the new policy. [/quote] Where do you see that this applies to admin/teachers? The quote above specifies “student use”.[/quote] It says they have to be off and away. It doesn't say only students have to turn them off and put them away. Why would it be OK for teachers to play on their phones during the school day?[/quote] The policy is titled “Student use of cell phones…”. Everything that follows in the post mentions “student”. Why are you asking if it would be ok for teachers to “play on their phones”? Who suggested that? There are, however, legitimate reasons a teacher might utilize a phone during the school day.[/quote] what are the legitimate reasons a teacher might have to use their phone during the school day? [/quote] None of your fcking business. [/quote] Well, you are quite unpleasant. And what do you mean not of my business? The teachers are ON the job supposed to be teaching my children. What they do during this time is exactly my and all of our business. I'll ask again - why would a teacher HAVE to use their phone during the school day? [/quote] No. You don't get to ask that. You are not their boss and you have zero say into their work expectations. Sit down. [/quote] Lots of people here don't seem to have a problem with bossing around other people's kids.[/quote] A ban on an addictive and distracting device that was recommended by your child’s teachers? And all scientists? And now most major school jurisdictions across the country? And the elite private schools? And most parents? And opposed by most students? And some helicopter parents who can’t handle their child’s sports practice change? :roll: [/quote] Which scientists said that an occasional, brief text during the day was harmful? None. SFTU. [/quote] CALM DOWN, CRAZY.[/quote]
