Do You agree?

We didn't have mobile phones when I was at school - come to think of it, not every family even had a home phone!

agree

As teaching staff....i cant have my phone in class time so nor should the kids!

I did it with an adult ESL student a few years ago because he was texting & not paying attention to the lesson. I kept it at the front on my desk & gave it back to him after class & gave him a pep talk. I never had an issue with him again or other students.

Agree

Absolutely they should. Kids are there to learn not to be on their phone.

my teachers got so mad if we had out cell phones out even during homework time.

Agree

Agree

I don't think the classroom is any place for a cell phone.

Yes, if they're on them during class.

Absolutely agree!

I agree

i think a warning to silence it first before taking it.
then perhaps communicate to the child's parents that it should be off during class.

Agree, we couldn’t even have a transistor radio in class unless someone had an earphone and wired it up their sleeve and hid the earpiece with their hair.

A classroom is not the place for cell phone use. On the other hand a teacher has no right to the phone either. They could fail me, suspend me or expel me but they can't confiscate my property.

just tell them to put them on silent - I dont want to hear the old line from a parent saying - "what if it is an emergency" ? - hey thats what we have teachers and administrators for.

sorry Angel, have to agree why would you need it during class? 🤔

Agree - what do you think Angel?

That's a tough call. The phones aren't the teacher's property, but if they become a distraction to the student or the other students, I think it's probably good they're taken away while class is in session.

Agree. You're grounded.

maybe just leave them in the locker? to easy to cheat with one on

I disagree... Unless they are found to be using them IN class. At which point you punish those who are doing wrong with confiscation.

Naw let them play on games all lesson as class is boring 🤣 joking. I think they should be aloud to have them with them on silent like we do at colleges as long as they aren’t constantly using them.

Agree, if they're found using them in class, or are suspected of using them during class.

I don’t have kids... because this world is a weird place when you have to ask questions like this

Of course. They should do that with politicians in parliament too!

No. Better tell the student to get out of class.
