  Case: Not disruptive, but not attentive. Cellphones in classrooms.
You have students in your classroom who are not behavioral issues or sleepers, but they are not attentive to the lesson. The student would rather play on their cellphone or text friends then get engaged. How would you address this issue without turning the issue into a confrontational conversation? Is it worth addressing this student at the expense of losing the rest of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make it a requirement to bring the cellphones up in the beginning of class and place them in numbered packets so each student would know which one was theirs at the end of class to retrieve. This reduces chances of students feeling singled out and ensures that no one is distracted from class by being on their phone.

Comments: I feel as though the cellphones at the front of the classroom would cause the students to be more concerned about the phones then if they were just put away.

Comments: I have seen this done before and although it does not seem like a bad idea, students these days will often tell you that you don't pay for their phone so you cannot take it away from them.
