What did they do if you did?@Caraa97

KimberleyAnne · F

@Caraa97 makes sense though

ArtieKat · M

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!

marsbar · F

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

ASouthernGentleman · 31-35, M

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

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

GoodCatholicGirl · F

Yes, if they're on them during class.

maturemum · 56-60, F

Absolutely agree!

MarmeeMarch · M

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.

EmilyMom · 51-55, F

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.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@EmilyMom Everyone gets warnings...even in classes the police give for driver safety the people are warned and in each class at least one or more gets booted out because they refuse to stop texting while the class is going on.

bowman81 · M

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.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

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.

@hippyjoe1955 mine was blue I tell you.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@SW-User Ha ha I don't doubt you for a second. I suspect that here in Canada we may have had more restrictions on what could be imported from Japan.

plaguewatcher · M

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

english · 56-60, M

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

Smiles

Agree - what do you think Angel?

PhoenixPhail · M

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.

GirlSerendipity · 26-30, F

@PhoenixPhail a 'tough call' . . . hah! bad pun!!

PhoenixPhail · M

@GirlSerendipity OMG! You saw that before [b][i]I[/i][/b] did. I wouldn't have seen that had you not pointed it out. Seriously. 😂

Agree. You're grounded.

Hellllll no. Not their property. They can tel them to put it in their backpack. But personally I hated when teachers did that, you never know what text could pop up on the screen and teachers could see it.

xixgun · M

I concur

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.
