They don't.
Or at least their use during class. Which I'm all for that but I'm glad that they're still allowed to have them at school just in case of an emergency.
Not what you said. Try again!Of course phones have their use in cars. But they do far more harm than good. You can't drive safely while playing with a phone. THINK
1. Great idea!
2. But in many cities, the students would just defy the ban.
3. And since the Obama Administration, students may no longer be suspended for defiance.
4. That Administration had agreed with activists that suspension for defiance was used unfairly against African American and Hispanic students.
You have no idea how hard expulsion is! Suspension is getting harder.Then expel them.
The parents would have a cow, and your policy would not last a day.All school districts need to ban cell phones in schools. They are nothing but a distraction.
For those caught with one after the ban takes effect, I say give them an automatic F for the semester.
Cell phones should be labeled with the student's name and placed in a portable bag when entering the classroom. The students can reclaim their phones when the class is over. In the event of weather emergency, lock down, or whatever the teacher should be trained to take the bag with her as she ushers her students to shelter where the students can reclaim their phones to assure parents they are okay or whatever.
I have attended training seminars, spiritual retreats, etc. in which everybody was required to turn in their cell phones, wrist watches, any and all communication devices with the outside world unless medically necessary. It was always a bit traumatic not having those things for awhile, but after awhile you get used it and rather enjoy the liberty of being free of time restraints/expectations etc. I'm sure students would too.
Sometimes I wish underage persons were restricted to the old style mobile phones that ALL you could do with them is make or receive calls and wrist watches that did nothing but tell time. Then you would have kids that actually make eye contact and converse with people again and that have to do some intellectual work to learn the subject matter so they are actually educated.
I can quite easily translate mankind or him to also include woman and her. I figure men are as smart as I am. Women teachers outnumber men more the 3 to 1 in the public schools so 'she/her' is just simpler to say.Pardon me, but your sexism is showing! Not all teachers are women.
Other than that, your idea shows you are completely out of touch with reality.
Wow! The lack of logic you displayed is astounding! You just explained it backwards! If you said the teacher was male, it could be excused like you explained. However, the converse is simply not true.I can quite easily translate mankind or him to also include woman and her. I figure men are as smart as I am.

It gets tedious having to include both pronounces or genders when making a point. So if a guy is too fragile to be able to understand that the 'her' means the teacher who could also be a guy, he probably shouldn't be teaching anyway.
And since when I teach I collect the kids' telephones--with adults I tell them to please turn them off--I don't think I'm out of touch with reality.
I have more faith in people being able to interpret without having to be PC. PC annoys me but oh well. Have a good one.Wow! The lack of logic you displayed is astounding!

Want to know the reason most teachers are female? Low pay.
Want to know why almost 99% of elementary teachers are female? Parent fear of child molesters.
Before becoming a teacher, I was a substitute at all levels. I was one of the only males who would substitute in elementary schools because I was older (35) and had 3 kids of my own, 2 in school already. At one school, I quickly became a legend because I was the only male above the age of 12 in the whole building. The principal asked her teachers to always request my services after I covered a teacher out for knee surgery, teaching 2nd grade for two weeks. The kids in other classes took notice of me and asked if I could teach them. They were all starved for male attention from an adult I can only imagine they were Navy dependents and Dad was gone, just like I left my kids behind only a few years before.
With books and the internet do we even need schools?. Once a kid can read, he can teach himself anything.You have no idea how hard expulsion is! Suspension is getting harder.
More ignorant bullshit.With books and the internet do we even need schools?. Once a kid can read, he can teach himself anything.
You sir are a complete moron. A very tiny number of kids can do that. Virtual learning has its limits.With books and the internet do we even need schools?. Once a kid can read, he can teach himself anything.
My MS had ALWAYS had a policy of no cell phones OUT in class.More and more and more districts should follow suit.
Or at least their use during class. Which I'm all for that but I'm glad that they're still allowed to have them at school just in case of an emergency.
You are the moron. I learned very little in school and a lot in self study. Get a book.You sir are a complete moron. A very tiny number of kids can do that. Virtual learning has its limits.
I learned very little in school ......... no argument from anyone here.You are the moron. I learned very little in school and a lot in self study. Get a book.
So did I, but we are not every kid. There's that broad brush again. Put away your paint and learn the people are different than you believe.You are the moron. I learned very little in school and a lot in self study. Get a book.
You are the moron. I learned very little in school
