[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long time HS teacher here and this is how it’s going to play out with older kids.  There will be meetings during the teacher workdays and we will need to have something in the syllabus.  Admin will put together some unrealistic protocol, like we need to keep track of infractions ourself, give a certain number of warnings, on the whatever time email/call parents, then on the next time write a referral.  Some teachers will stress over this and have complicated spreadsheets, write referrals only to find out no discipline happens.

Nothing will change in my class.  I’ve always had a cell away rule.  It’s usually not an issue. I will contact parents if they are ever cheating on a test or being disruptive.  I will not if I see them send a quick text.  No one has time for that and most of the time, the parents are texting their own kids. [/quote]

This and admin will do nothing but expect teachers to do it all-as usual.

Teachers will have to do their jobs, waah waah waah.  :roll: [/quote]

Jokes on you, I’m not changing a thing.[/quote]
