i have a question for some of you parents with kids in school......

My daughter has to leave hers in her locker. If she gets caught using it in class, detention.

My boyfriend teaches HS I think in his class they have a cubby to put their phone in till the end of class. But he has problems with them bringing headphones to class too. Things aren't like they used to be. The kids use language towards the teachers that i would had never thought of doing.

I mean, my kids have been out of school for a few years, but most of the teachers made the kids put their phones in a basket that was kept on the teachers desk and then the kids got their phones back at the end of the class. It wasn’t much of an issue for my kids.

One day I was in home economics class and passed a note out of the window tied to a length of knitting wool to my friend in the classroom directly below. It got intercepted by a teacher who sent back a note telling me to stand outside the head of year's office 🥺

Phones are banned from class in my daughter's school, so I guess they pass notes like we used to!

Theres a no phones policy in most schools. In mine, they leave them at the office before class and collect on the way home. In my daughter's school, it's allowed but if theyre seen they take it off them for the day.

Because of Pumpkin"s special needs she is allowed to have her phone with her at school. She uses it for calming music.

They would get them took off them if caught using them in class but it wasn't easily enforced. They were not allowed to go through the phone and read texts or anything like that.

As someone who works in a high school....kids basically do what they want.

The state government issued a statement last year that phones were no longer allowed in the classroom......

......however, teachers receive msg updates on cover duty, grade or whole school lock downs and roster changes on their own phones, so....

....students see the teacher has theirs and see it as unfair.

They are also VERY emotionally attached to their phones.

This alpha gen have worked out that the rules only become rules if you voluntarily follow them.

Smart fuckers😂

So yeah, the kids use their phones when ever they choose to....they will make calls/text people, right in the middle of class.

Teachers can't do shit about it.


We are NOT allowed to take private property off students - they MUST willingly hand it over...

... they don't obviously.
