  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!)
I would ask this parent to contact you instead of the student. If the rule is no cell phone use, then that rule needs to be followed. If there is a transportation issue or a true emergency, then the student will receive the information from you. Let the parent know that after school, she can text her daughter all she wants, just not during school.
