Teacher Wants Cellphone Relief
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Exasperated teacher Sandra Ray asks in her guest column: “Parents, will you be sending your child to school with a cellphone?”
Kids bring them to school, often with their parents’ blessing, and the darn things ring in class all day long. “As a teacher, the classroom cellphone disruptions I experienced last year were almost overwhelming,” Ray writes.
Teachers and parents, how is this addressed in your school? Does the teacher merely confiscate the ringing phone, or is there a more severe punishment?
(I confess I hate cellphones. I have never gotten used to mine, which is currently at home on the charger where I put it last night after three days with a dead battery. This is one technology I think I got along fine without…)
