What do you think of a policy of requiring phones to be off during the whole school day and stored in a student's cubby or locker? In terms of focus, this seems to work well. Emergencies can be handled by the Office staff. How does your school schedule paddle swats? As earned and as soon as possible? Or is time set aside after school and students have to wait all day? Is there a late bus, perhaps for the athletes, that kids can take when they have a discipline appointment? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Another problem is grownups using thier phones to text and not hands free I would never do that but if I did my husband would strap my bottom . Teachers sending a student iy is immediately but referrals the student is called to the office if the referral was late in the school day it could be they next day . [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

And heavy equipment is what we are all forbidden to operate when we are impaired by meds or by various forms of being high. Sarah you are blessed to have had a Dad and now to have a guy who will encourage you firmly never to drive or use a tractor, etc. while texting. Studies show that the distraction from texts destroys focus and pulls attention away from any thing else. I shared a hospital room with a very young man who lost both lower legs from a tractor rearing up. Some studies of the brain even show that multi-tasking never happens. At best we just switch from task to task, and leave the first to attend to the second. Cell phone designers know this and that that's why they make cell phones PING to get our attention back. Thanks, Sarah for the answers to my scheduling questions. Some states are passing laws to help schools handle this cell phone distraction issue by requiring cell insulating containers to be used during school hours. The theory is emergencies can be handled by YOU and your Office helpers! Are you, Sarah -- School Secretary, down with this? More work for you, big time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
