Is your school trying to set a cell phone policy that works? For some background, read How to Manage Cell Phones in the Classroom on the Edutopia website to understand the issue more fully from a teacher’s perspective. Be sure to also read the comments section; almost every comment on the entry includes an anecdote about how the biggest issue with cell phones at school is parents who call at the wrong time, i.e. when their children are supposed to be paying attention in class. Don’t be THAT parent.
