  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!)
Students should be taught that cell phones are not allowed in the classroom on the first day. Teachers should immediately tell the students to put their phones away if they are out. If they have to be told again, whatever classroom rules are in place for breaking a rule twice should be enforced.
