  Case: BYOD
Our school has a BYOD (Bring your own device) rule. This allows the students to utilize their own form of technology during class. Due to the fact that 99% of the teachers are okay with this rule and allow the students to play on their cell phones once their classwork is completed, my kids are constantly checking their phones for messages from the students in other classrooms. I am in 8th grade, would it be a good idea for me to set up a station on the back wall where the students have to place their phones until it is approved by me for them to use them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree with your idea, putting the phone in the back wall. To tell you the truth I don't agree that the students are using phones in the school and in classroom.This will cause a 100% distraction. Why don't your school find a funding to buy iPads for the whole school that they can use during school days.
