[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue of teacher safety is really important but I don't see what it has to do with cell phone policies. If you're saying you can't have a cell phone policy because kids might get violent if someone tries to enforce it, then you're essentially saying you can't have any rules or expectations whatsoever. Just let kids do whatever they want. [/quote]

+100.  None of these objections have anything to do with cell phones.  Teachers enforce all sorts of rules every class--take out your books, stop talking Mandy, sit down now, no snacking... It seems like some sort of learned helplessness about cell phones--that has less to do with any unique prospect of cell phone-related violence (???) and more to do with the fact that clearly there is no societal consensus on what the rules should be and/or we are all phone addicts now.[/quote]

So you just ignore the numerous news reports I shared of teachers being attacked over cell phones? That's how you process information? Ignore the things that don't fit your already predetermined viewpoint that teachers can and should be capable of handling everything?

I guess teachers hail from Krypton in your mind because you clearly believe they are Supermen/women.[/quote]

So what is your solution?[/quote]
