Case: Cell Phone Problems
You and your school have very strict rules about students not using cell phones in class. The first offense is a warning, and the second is an administrative referral. Mary is obsessed with using her phone and you have warned her and written her up several times. When you contact the parent about these instances, she informs you that she's sorry but she is the one texting her daughter. She said that is is always important and she would prefer if you stop writing her up since she is taking the blame. You are very confused because you do not want other students to see Mary using her phone and think it is ok for them to use thier phones as well. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One thing you could do is lead an initiative that encourages your school to reconsider its policies. In today's times, cell phones are used frequently by everyone, and parents often need to communicate with their children throughout the day. For example, in the system where I work, a new policy has just been put in place. During class time, students leave their cell phones face down in the upper right hand corner of their desks. The teacher lets students know when their use is acceptable, and then the students are allowed to pick up their phones. Students are also allowed to listen to music, text, or make phone calls between classes, fully understanding that they will accept the consequences if they are late to their next class. They must only have a headphone in one ear so they can hear what is going on around them as they move from place to place, and headphones are not allowed inside the classroom when instruction is taking place.
Allowing students to use their cell phones while at school would definitely curb the amount of office referrals that take place! |

| Comments: I don't believe I would do this, because when the students are ready to work, they are not allowed on their cell phones while at work. I believe they should leave there cell phone in their locker or book bag. Your solution is a great idea. |

| Comments: Yes, students should be able to use their cell phone in the hallway. I cant think of any reason why students should be able to text in the classroom. |

| Comments: Cell phones are a distraction to everyone and I do not think that they should be visible in the classroom, if there is an emergency then the office can be contacted. |
