Some teachers don’t want to waste your precious snowflake’s instructional time when they have to address the inevitable phone misuse. Be grateful. They’ll live.


How is the teacher doing to know of the kid leaves it in their backpack?


Huh? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I can tell you that with 28 teenagers in a room… someone is going to pull out their phone. Probably several someones within a block period. And then it has to be addressed. And class stopped. It’s not worth the loss of instructional time. Let the teachers take the phones so they can get on with the business of teaching.


If you have a HS kid who knows not to pull out there phone, so they actually leave it in their bag, how would the teacher know? That's the question. If the idea of phone cubbies is displeasing, can't the kid just keep the phone in the backpack? Surely not everyone has a phone.


Why don’t kids have lockers anymore? That seems like an easy way to avoid distraction

My kid is at Wakefield.
I didn’t know they had a school or APS policy. Even if they did I doubt the admin would allow it to be enforced.

That’s disappointing.

As a high school teacher, I have no idea what you’re talking about. We can ask students to keep them away but admin has told us they won’t back us up if we take them from a student

My kid at W&L have had to sign forms in individual classes saying they are aware of the "class policy" that phones are banned from being used in class and the different levels of ramifications if caught. Having said this, they say "everyone" is on their phones but hide them under their desk.

Does that include lunch? No phones in cafeteria?

Do they make the kids keep them in their locker during the day and not use them at lunch? That’s how I read the policy but is it enforced fairly well?
