    Why don’t they just have rules like we did years ago. Have your phone out in class and you get a lunch detention, next time a detention, 3rd time sent to the office with a recommendation for suspension.

    Kids have to learn to be responsible… They will have their phone on them everywhere else in life, like work. Learning to be responsible about it seems like education.

      I fervently agree with your hypothesis, but i dont think you know what it is like inside public schools these days. “Shut up bitch” is the likely response to enforcing that lol

        So the solution is to start from a place of distrust? If you treat children like they’ve already done something wrong, what reason do they have left to behave? It also seems pretty damaging to their development to teach them that being treated this way be default is good or right.

        If it’s a problem, sure, take them away. But not even giving them the chance to show some level of responsibility early, even if it’s likely they might not do it, is both lazy, and developmentally damaging.

        Pick up the phone call the security guard to come escort them to the office for a 30 day suspension. Happens again expelled.

        You can start day one with a message on the board that you have a zero tolerance policy for disrespect

        The teachers are there to educate not parent. If the kids aren’t afraid of getting in trouble then it’s the guardians problem. Public education is something that is supposed to be available so kids can learn, and we have turned it into a place to dump your dependents so they can go to work apparently.
