[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. We are in public and not MCPS. Our school allows phones, but they need to be put away.

I wouldn't want to take the phone because if there is a school shooting, I don't want to be in that position. The unfortunate mindset of a public school parent, unfortunately.

[b]Thank you to everyone who suggested a dummy phone or a text/call phone only. I think we're going to start here.

How do we get him to understand how rude this behavior is? Grades are grades, he will pass or fail, but we want to make sure he is a good human. [/b][/quote]

Teenagers are biologically wired to be self centered. I would focus more on modeling, setting expectations, and consequences and assume if he goes through the motions enough he will be a good human when he comes out the other side.

So, yes, fancy phone goes away. Flip phone for emergencies. He writes an email to the teacher apologizing. And you have a calm conversation with your kid explaining all of this, but also asking him what is going on from his perspective. Boredom? LD? Depression? IDK but see what your kid has to say.
