There’s a lot of reasons where possessing a phone in school is legit. In cities, transit passes are commonly phone bases. Some apartments require smartphones for gate entry.
In class, different story of course.
- lurking_swe 2y agowhy can’t a student leave their phone in the locker? or the teacher has a large bin where all students must put their phone into (powered off) before class starts.
- EasyMark 2y agoIt’s not hard to have a little checkin locker by the teacher’s desk as kids come in. Just make sure they turn the sound off before sliding it into it’s temporary home
- Spooky23 2y agoNah, that’s disruptive. You are going to waste 5 minutes at the start and end of every 40 minute class futzing with phones. I think it has to be in the locker. Kids who don’t have lockers yet, no phone.
- Sammi 2y agoIn the article they explain that they don't have the authority to take away a phone from a student, but they do have the authority to tell the student to put it away or leave it at home, and that this is enough to enforce the phone ban. No need to take any students phone away from them.
