I find some of these stories astonishing. When I was in school ~15 years ago, if the teacher caught you using your phone in class he didn't "ask" you to give it to him, nor did he deduct "participation points", whatever that means. He just confiscated the device, and you'd be lucky to get it back within a week. Rules were rules.
Also this teacher is complaining about students putting their headphones on during class? What? That kind of behaviour was unthinkable in my school. If I had done that I would have gotten in serious trouble.
Haven't these educators heard of "discipline"?
- wbazant 2y agoIf the teacher says 'okay I' m confiscating the phone' and stretches out his hand but the kid just puts the phone back in their pocket, what do you want the teacher to do?
- arrowsmith 2y agoGive the kid a detention? Send them to the principal? Use one of the other disciplinary tools that the teacher has available? It's a school. The adults have authority over the children. If there's really no way to enforce the rules or punish bad behaviour, the entire institution is a joke.
