[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a high school teacher. That ship sailed long ago. Even the best students do it. I’m not happy about it from a “future of humanity” perspective but teachers made their peace with this  pre pandemic. [/quote]

Why aren't you designing your teaching so that students don't have much time/opportunity to be sitting on their devices?[/quote]

There is no teaching that is more exciting to a kid determined to be on or addicted to their phone. There just isn’t. I have had parents email me and say “he gets so distracted by his iPad/phone can you just take it in your class?” and I have flat out responded your job is to tell him to leave it at home, not to ask me to confiscate it.

My kids are in elementary school.  They don't have phones or tablets.  But the schools have decided it's a good idea to let them loose on unlocked laptops.  During a pandemic, it's one thing.  In a school building, with regular classes, next fall?

I expect my children's teachers to be smarter than that.[/quote]
