I have to ask ... what high school allows students to use their phones in school????? [/quote]

I don’t mean to distract from guitpic original post, but thought I’d address that since you asked. I’ve been a high teacher 25 years and the phone issue can turn into quite the power struggle. There are many students that will not cooperate when asked to put away there’s phones and become confrontation about it. These students parents know that their children are completely distracted by their phones but they still let their children come to school with their phone anyways, often saying they need to get ahold of their children at a moments notice.

What I do is try to use their electronic devices as learning tools. There’s plenty of educational apps and other resource that I use in my classroom that enhance the learning experience , but I do have monitor closely , and I know plenty of “ unauthorized “ and inappropriate use of the students devices is going on. Yes it’s a struggle, and the struggle is real!
