Case: Cell phones aren't allowed so why do you have one?
As a school rule, cell phones aren't allowed, yet I had a student who constantly had one and was on it. One day I took it away from him since there was the school rule that students are not allowed to have them and administration informed us that, that was what we were suppose to do. The cell phone became such a distraction that I ended up writing the student up for having it. This is when administration finally told me how the student had to have the cell phone on him since there was some issues with his parents in the past so he needed it to keep in contact with them. To the administration there was papers on file about how no matter what he needed to have it on him. I can understand the story and reason for this fifth grader to have his phone. That wasnt the issue. The issue was the fact that he kept talking on it and it became a disruption in class. Administration did not care and only told me that he had to have it and that I couldnt take it away. What can be done? I feel like my hands are tied behind my back yet I cant just sit there and let him disrupt my class with this phone.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In a case like this, I would speak directly to the parents and describe the problem that having the cell phone is causing in your classroom, since they are the ones that demand the student to have it on his/her person. I would ask them to reconsider contacting you, the teacher, directly through the classroom phone or your personal cell phone should an emergency arise, rather than making the student keep the phone. This way maybe you could take the phone from the student at the beginning of class and give it back to the student once class time is over to minimize classroom disruptions. |

| Comments: The parents are the only ones in this situation who can help fix the problem, since it is a family matter. Therefore I think that this is the best solution. |

| Comments: I believe this is the best solution to the problem. Having been a student in this situation myself (I had to have my phone on me in case of family emergencies) it was hard on me, my teacher, and my classmates every time my phone would go off. I eventually worked out an agreement with parents and teachers to have my phone put on silent (no vibration or noise) and have my parents call the school directly during school hours if a problem arises. |
