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!) There are a few ways that can solve this situation. You can have classroom policies set. You can also encourage cellphone use in order to do research on a specific topic. If this does not presume to be progressive in correlation to their grades then I would suggest sitting with the students and addressing the situation. If it continues and they are not following the policies out in place then I would contact the principle and parents and go from there.
