  Case: Cell Phones
I am an intern in a high school EBD classroom. The students have great difficulty putting their cell phones away, and often ignore me the asked or take it right back out. We are not supposed to confiscate the phones. What should I do to get them to put their phones away?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would warn them and explain to them if they take it out again without being advised you are going to write them a referral. My school had alternative bell schedule, where they'd have to come in at 12 and stay till 5 and no one was really there so they either had to sit there and do their work or just sit there - both options are pretty boring. If they didn't show up to that they were suspended for 3 days. Discipline like this isn't always the answer but if they keep ignoring you, you have to make an example out of someone.
