  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!)
You need to make sure parents and students are aware of the policy and if you need to collect the phones before class starts and give it back to the students when they are done with their work.
