re: Teacher takes phone away, gets assaulted

She has taken away many of them.
Granted I went to a private school, but as long as we didn’t answer then during class they were allowed.
Colleges allow their students to keep their cellphones. I can’t imagine how much shite would be stirred up if a professor started physically taking phones from students.
quote:This I can see being a problem. Cellphones aren’t cheap these days. Your wife is taking and withholding personal property that is likely in excess of $500 in value. In fact, if it is just her personal policy, should could very well be technically breaking the law.
Her class policy is first offense, get it back at end of period, second offense, get it back end of day, third offense she brings to office and the parent has to come get it from the office.
If the student is that disruptive with their phone, then she needs to just ask the student to leave and let the school administrators handle it from there. She should not be taking the phones.

What kind of discipline are you supporting here?

Raise your children correctly.

Um. You are supposed to call the school, not your kid. The school is in charge of your kid during school hours. I'm pretty sure you are told this before the school year starts.

But just because a kid is texting or browsing something, that is not disrupting the class, whats the big deal? Are they just butthurt because the kid isn't paying attention to them?
Do you know what school is? This might be the stupidest thing I've read on here today, and I've been on the SEC rant and more sports board already.

Now imagine if those phones were boom boxes. I'm assuming since the girl had the phone taken away she was using it in class, not leaving it turned off as you correctly did.
Would you want 25 kids on a phone or listening to music while trying to teach class.
Didn't figure you would.

A couple of things:
I’m not arguing whether or not the use of cell phones can be disruptive to the learning environment. I’m saying that there are probably better ways to deal with them.
I’m also saying that her personally taking something of high value (beyond misdemeanor in the eyes of the law in some areas) from an individual could be very problematic.
Is it explicitly stated in the regulations of the school/board that the teacher is supposed to remove the student’s private property and keep it in her possession? I think not from the way the OP stated the situation. Therefore, I’d recommend to her that if a student is violating the rules then she should refer the student to the administration.
Ultimately I’m thinking that nothing legal would come if this, but that doesn’t mean that she’s not settling herself up for a potential issue. That’s why I’d advise her against what she’s doing.

What school lets their students play on their phones in class?

Jusg having the phone and using the phone in class are two different things.

You sound like a total dick with this statement and a big reason why there is no discipline in our schools.

This was a fourth grader, not a kid in high school.
ETA: I see your kid doesn't go to a public school, so if you showed up all bowed up at a private school, your kid would be dis-enrolled before you got off campus.

Call the office, perhaps?

My 4th grader takes her phone to school. Turns it off until she's out. Probably half her class has phones and they understand they aren't to be used in school.

I’m not saying they should be allowed to use them.
quote:Since we’re playing the imagination game - let’s imagine we’re talking about jewelry. This teacher deems jewelry to be disruptive to her classroom. So she takes it upon herself to take the students watches, rings, bracelets and necklaces. She puts them in her desk and tells the student that they can’t have them back for a period that extends beyond the period of which she is responsible for the student. She could be holding thousands of dollars worth of shite in her desk (easy with today’s phone cost) which she doesn’t have a legal right to have. Imagine some other student breaks into her desk while she’s at lunch. Who’s going to pay for that?
Now imagine if those phones were boom boxes. I
I can see the school administrators saying that it wasn’t official policy for the teacher to do that. I can see the school insurance saying the same thing. So it falls on the teacher?
The point is, without the school administrators (possibly the school board) making it explicit policy that the individual teachers withhold the phones, she could be putting herself in a very vulnerable position.

Local high schools started allowing cell phones a couple years ago. It has not gone well.
Shocker, I know.

School board policy is that cell phones are allowed in school, but may not be visible, may not make sounds, and may not be used during the school day. The consequence for the first and second violation may include, but does not have to include, confisciation of the phone for a period no longer than the end of the instructional day. For the third offense, the teacher MUST turn the phone into the school office and the parent must come retrieve it.
All teachers have lockable places in their classrooms (closet, desk drawer, etc) and if a phone is taken by a teacher, it must be immediately sent to the office (the teacher can call to have a clerk come get it) or must be immediately locked away until given back to the student. Failure to follow this can result in discipline against the teacher.
EDIT: I would say 98 percent, at least, of the faculty at her school have the same policy. This didn't come out of thin air.
