69传媒

   They are constantly using them, sneaking them out of pockets and using them whenever they like. It is a constant battle to try to stop them.

   We have caddies that they put their phones in when they enter the classroom. They get around this by having burner phones.

   This year, we started using Yondr pouches to lock up students' phones during the day. 69传媒 have broken the pouches to get their phones out.

   Smartwatches have been used by students (and their parents) to circumvent the cellphone policy.

   69传媒 grow out their hair to hide the wireless earbuds, because they can turn the music on before they put their phones in the Yondr pouches and the signal is not blocked.

   69传媒 will refuse to deposit their phones in designated spaces; saying simply it's their personal property. Many will place phones between their legs to try to hide the phone; to put the teacher in an awkward situation.

   69传媒 use [classroom computers'] messaging apps and computer apps to access the various platforms they usually use.

   We used lockable pouches in the past and students broke the locks or cut the pouches open. We now ask for cellphones to be off and in backpacks. If we see them, even if they are not in use, they go to the office for parent pickup.

   [If] the students access their phones during the day, we take them and turn them into admin. A parent must come and pick the phone up. It is fairly successful.

   69传媒 try to sneak out their phones during instructional time. Fidelity to the policy by every staff member has improved the issue.

   69传媒 try to sneak a look at their phones. After a verbal warning, I simply call a number and administration sends someone to escort the student to the office for disciplinary measures to be taken.

   69传媒 hide them in hoodies, binders, etc. The first offense is noted and they return their phone to their locker. The second offense, the phone is sent to the office and the student picks it up after school. The third offense, the parent has to pick up the phone after school. From then on, it can be an out-of-school suspension.

   They try to use them in the bathrooms or sneak them in classrooms. We have a progressive discipline matrix in place that helps with this. We also allow them to come to the office to message or call parents, which has helped some as well.

   Without the principal's backing, it is just up to teachers who care.

   Teachers don't enforce it in their classroom, so it makes it challenging for those of us that do.

   The students just use them when they want because teachers are not consistent and administration is nowhere to be found.

   They blatantly use them anyway. When teachers report them, administration doesn't do their job and hold the student accountable to the discipline matrix. So, teachers are now giving up on doing their job of enforcing the policy. Now it looks like there isn't an issue because nobody is getting reported.

   We do not have a school policy. It is up to each teacher, which makes things more frustrating. 69传媒 in one class can use their phone, then they go to the next and they are banned.

   There is not a successful response to this fiasco.

   The kids have been really good with following the policy. It's the parents that text their kids that make it a problem.

   There is no success in my school. From the top down, parents are feared.

   Parents often interfere because they feel they have the right to contact their children at anytime.

   Parents have asked the superintendent to change the cellphone ban. Some parents feel that students should be allowed to have cellphones in class in case of emergencies.

   69传媒 do not respect the policy and just open their phones and use them outwardly during class. Parents fight the phone policy saying their student has the right to use their phone for classwork and communication because they bought the phone and gave it to their child.

   Our policy restricts use during instructional time. 69传媒 continue to violate the policy, and parents are often not supportive. At this point, I would almost welcome a state ban of cellphones.
