Your Teachers are Tired of Seeing Your Cell Phones

Kesha Palmer , Student News Reporter
May 15, 2018
‘Too many teenagers feel as if they only need one thing to get through their day, and that thing is their smartphone. Some teenagers use their phones responsibly during school hours and keep it in their bag on silent and don’t let it distract them while teachers are talking. Then there are the other students who are completely disrespectful and have it out at all time playing on it and more.

That’s why a flurry of schools have recently put in place restrictions or bans on students’ use of cellphones in school. The changes represent a pivot away from the more open student cellphone policies that districts instituted in previous years. But not everyone thinks the new restrictions are a step in the right direction.’

How to Deal with Cell Phones in School

-via wgu.edu-

by Nancy Barile, Award-Winning Teacher, M.A.Ed.

‘Here’s The Good, The Bad and The Solution for cell phone usage in the classroom.
There’s no bigger classroom distraction than a student using a phone. Teachers struggle with cell phones in school on a daily basis. On one hand, teachers want students to learn how to manage their phones on their own. On the other hand, the distraction phones create can be detrimental to both students and teachers. Power struggles ensue, wasting valuable class time. Because of this, teachers need practical and enforceable strategies for dealing with phones in their classrooms’
