I Go to a Boarding School

One of my duties as Big Sister is to collect the mobile phones of all the younger girls in our house before they go to bed and store them safely until the next morning. This is really important as the illuminated display can disrupt sleep patterns which is not good news 馃槙 The policy was really unpopular to start with, but now it is mainly supported because girls notice the benefit of better sleep 馃檪 6th formers are allowed to monitor their own use of phones, but I try to do the same because I need loads of sleep too 馃槍

The girls can collect their phones as soon as they wake the next day, but they need to get up early because I may be out running or doing exercises in the gym 馃檪

If caught with phones out, my high school and middle school would bash the phones with a hammer in front of everyone to show they were seriosus

When we went on field trips, the checked out bag. My friend was able to smuggle my phone and his along with a few others in a chip bag he had resealed perfectly lol

@SakiSaki That is serious 馃槦 I would probably support that if someone was rude enough to use a phone in lessons. Our rule is for health and I think most girls understand it, even if it is inconvenient for them.

@TammieBear you cant have your phone out at all. Lol.

That is a really good policy. I also collect my students' phones before lessons so they are not disrupted by them. That said, my own phone is also switched off, of course!

@Uncle I am glad you lead by example! 馃檪

@TammieBear Every good teacher would. I demand diligence and expect excellence from my students, and I hold myself to the same standards.

Good to see that you lead by example, TammieBear. Sleep is important for growing cubs, so no phones after lights out is a good policy to have.

@liondog Little bear cubs get grizzly if they don't have enough sleep 馃惢

@TammieBear They sure do. Which is why this papa bear makes sure his cubs get enough sleep.

Seeing as my phone is also my alarm, this would be a great way to ensure I was late for everything. But I totally get the purpose of the policy

@Shade70 On weekdays, we have a bell ringing in our house if anyone is tempted to stay in bed beyond 7.30am 馃檮
