  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!)
It is important to set the standard with students that phones should be kept away during lectures to ensure full engagement. However, allowing some phone time either as a break in the middle of class or as a rest time toward the end of class will give them some down time to use their phones and take a break. I think this will significantly drop the amount of phone usage during lectures.

Comments: I think phone breaks would help this issue solve but may take away from lesson time, but if it keeps students engaged during no-phone time, I think it would be worth it.
