[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop putting teachers in the middle. Just have admins send a letter home at the end of the day informing parents that their kid isn’t welcome in school until the parent comes in to talk to an administrator about the cell phone use.

It’s too hard for admins to send a form letter now?[/quote]

All those letters would have to be routed through Central Office. They wouldn't be able to handle that.[/quote]

I’m not so sure about that. They’ve really staffed up in recent years. Alternatively, the central office could give blanket approval to issue a form letter that does not deviate from the template.

We need to get away from handling nearly all disciplinary matters when kids are in classrooms. There are very few matters that need to be handled in the moment. There’s a reason businesses terminate employees when they’re not on the worksite. Taking a lead from the private sector, we should limit the frequency with which we put teachers in physical jeopardy.
